EASTER BREAD

I know, my last post is already a while ago. But that shouldn´t mean, that i wasn´t still diligent in the kitchen. I was just waaaay too lazy to translate my recipes. But now i collected a lot of new recipes that i will blog during the next days.
Today i start with my yummie easter bread, that i was baking for my family. It´s a sweet yeast bread with raisins, which you can eat for breakfast with margarine and  jam or any other sweet spread. I found that recipe on the internet (i don´t know the page) and just veganised it.

Ingredients (makes 2 small breads)

• 600g all purpose flour
• 1,5 packages dry yeast
• 250ml - 300ml soymilk
• 120g vegan margarine
• 80 - 90g sugar
• 1tsp salt
• lemon zest of 1 lemon
• egg-replacer for 3 eggs
• 120g raisins 

1. Mix the flour with the yeast and sieve on a clean work surface. Form a hole in the middle for the other ingredients
2. Let the butter melt in warm milk. (not too hot)
3. In a bowl mix together sugar, salt, lemon zest, and the milk/margarine mixture.
4. Now add the mixture into the hole and start kneading until everything is well combined. Put it on a warm place and let it rest for about 20 - 30 minutes.
5. During this time, put the raisins in a small bowl and cover with boiling water.
6. After 30 minutes drain them well and knead raisins together with the dough. 
7. Put the bread on a baking sheet with parchment paper, take a sharp knife and cut a cross in the middle of the bread and let it rest until it´s doubled in size. 
8. Preheat oven to 180- 190°C and bake for about 150 minutes. After 15 minutes cover with aluminium foil to become not too dark.
