Maize meal raisin bread

Unlike cookies and scones, bread takes hours to be done. That is one of the reasons I am late to add in a post today.

Photos (left to right; top to bottom) shows process.








 Ingredients:
250gram plain flour
 50gram maize meal
130ml water
30ml vegetable oil / olive oil
2 tablespoon molasses sugar / plain sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon instant yeast
2 tablespoon raisins (chopped coarsely)

1) Put all the ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Add salt at one corner, far from the yeast.
2) Blend with the mixer. The hook should come out clean.
3) Cover the dough and let to rise for 35 minutes.
4) Punch the dough to release the gas. Knead for 5-10minutes. Then, cover the dough again and let to rise for 45 minutes.
5) Punch the dough to release the gas. Knead for 5-10minutes. Add in chopped raisin and fold in. Then, cover the dough again and let to rise for 50 minutes.
