Butter Raisin Loaf 葡萄乾奶油麵包

I always inspired by the beautiful post of baking from bloggers, how amazing they can do it!!! Its really lots of passion has been putting in. Unfortunately, my passion is slowly be defeated by laziness. Though I'm really impressed, but lazy is the killing excuse for passion.

I'm getting lazy recently especially when the winter is approaching, I wish I could just hibernate in my duvet for the whole winter, like a butterfly, only broken out from its pupa when spring season.

The gradually coldest weather drives me into this laziest, lol. I'm therefore looking for something simple. By simply click on the inspiration from bloggers, I found this simple recipe from daily delicious, oh how lovely I have eyed on this, I just got all the ingredients required with me.

Unwillingness to get out from my warm duvet but use to do it, it is time to prepare for this post, It's just simple, but its taste good in its simple way, baker lover, gonna try it out!

Steps:
1. Soak the raisins in the hot water for 15 minutes and drain well, just to soften the raisins.

2. Sieved bread flour + yeast powder + sugar mix well. Gradually pour in the water, part of my water is hot water that been used to soak the raisins. Knead it into a smooth dough.

5. Cover and let the dough rise in fridge for 12 hours.
