Recipe Review
I've made this bread at least half a dozen times now. I really should branch out to the other fruit/nut breads here, but I just crave this one. Great toasted, or just warmed and topped with soft cheese. It takes a good 6-7 hours to complete in a warm kitchen like mine. The raisin water is an important part of the dough's flavor, so don't forget it (like I did once). And watch closely while this bakes: I've done this in two different ovens and I've found that (1) I've needed to lower the ovens to 375 as soon as the bread is in, rather than wait 5-10 minutes as in the recipe; and (2) the bread is done in about 30 minutes, which is considerably less than the recipe.
