Newfoundland Molasses Raisin Bread
Glen has been testing and researching Malt Bread / Malt Loaf Recipes - but this Newfoundland Molasses Bread Recipe keeps popping up. So he thought he'd give the recipe a try, because he loves molasses recipes!
Ingredients:
125 mL (½ cup) water
175 mL (¾ cup) milk
85g (90 mL / 6 Tbsp) butter
125 mL (½ cup) molasses
500g (875 mL / 3 ½ cups)all purpose flour
2 mL (½ tsp) coarse salt
7 mL (1 ½ tsp) cinnamon
8g (2 tsp) dry yeast
1 egg
2 mL (½ tsp) pure vanilla extract
220g (375 mL / 1½ cups) raisins

Method:
Place the water, milk, butter, and molasses in a pot over extremely low heat.
Stir and heat, just until butter is barely melted; about 90ºF.
In a stand mixer stir together the flour, salt, cinnamon, and yeast.
Slowly stir in the water / molasses mixture, allowing the bread hook to bring together a dough ball.
Add the egg, vanilla, and raisins.
Knead for 6-8 minutes.
Turn out onto a floured surface and knead a few times, just to make sure you've reached the right texture.
Place in a bowl and cover - allow to rise until double in size.
Preheat oven to 180ºC (350ºF).
Punch down and divide into 6 balls.
Form and place 3 balls into each 8" x 4" x 2½" baking dish.
Cover loosely with plastic wrap and allow to rise to the top edge of the dish.
Uncover and bake for 40-50 minutes - internal temp will be 195ºF.
Allow to cool slightly in the dishes.
