Recipe - Irish Barmbrack Bread

1 One half LB LOAF
1 1/8 cup Water
3 cup Bread flour
3 teaspoon Gluten
1 One half teaspoon Salt
3 tablespoon Sugar
Three fourths teaspoon Dried lemon peel
Three fourths teaspoon Ground allspice
1 One half tablespoon Butter
2 tablespoon Dry milk
2 teaspoon Red Star Active Dry Yeast
Three fourths cup Raisins

Put all ingredients in bread pan in order of manufacturer directions.

This makes a dense medium size loaf (67 inches tall). For a fluffier
taller loaf, increase yeast to 2 One half teaspoons.

Have ingredients at room temperature. If necessary, warm water and butter
in microwave for 5060 seconds on high.

For my Hitachi 101 add One fourth cup raisins 4 minutes into first cycle. Add
remaining raisins just after resting period and as second kneading begins.

Crust color: medium Bread Cycle: Bread or Mix Bread

This has been a successful loaf in my Hitachi B101. Other makes of bread
machines will have to make some changes according to their own machines.

According to a close Irish friend, this does taste and look like the bread
that she grew up with in Ireland.
