- In a mixer bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 c of the flour , sugar, salt and yeast.
- In a small sauce pan heat milk and butter until it reaches a temperature between 120 - 125 degrees
- Blend milk mixture into the flour mixture on low speed with an electric mixer.add the eggs slowly and continue mixing on medium speed for 3 minutes
- Stir in the raisins and the remaining flour or use dough hooks on the mixer and mix the dough until it comes together to make a nice soft dough.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5 minutes,adding more flour if necessary, until the dough is very smooth and elastic and not sticky or as my mom use to say as "soft as a baby's butt"
- In a greased bowl , roll dough around so that all sides of the dough get greased
- Cover and let rise for an hour or until doubled in size
- Punch dough down after the hour and shape into a loaf and place in a 9x 5x3 loaf pan ( you can also divide the dough and use in mini loaf pans just adjust your cooking time a bit)
- Brush the top of the loafs with melted butter so that the crumb topping can adhere
- Cover and let rise for an additional 30 minutes
- Bake in a 375 degree preheated oven for about 45 minutes or until nicely browned
- if the top is getting browned to quickly lightly place a piece of foil over the top .
- Crumb topping:
- Mix together and sprinkle on top of the loaf
- I usually double the crumb topping recipe we just like it better this way but that's totally up to you
- Enjoy!
