Yeasted Lemon Bread

Cooking Instructions

Dissolve yeast in warm milk. Add ½ cup of flour and beat batter until smooth. Cover and set in warm place for about an hour.

Beat eggs, salt, sugar and lemon rind. Stir mixture into batter, add remaining flour and knead, gradually adding melted butter until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise in a warm place until it has doubled its size – about 2 hours.

Knead dough adding the raisins and nuts as evenly as possible. Put in a buttered deep round baking dish about 12 inches in diameter or form two rounds and place them on a buttered cookie sheet. Cover with a towel and leave in a warm place until almost doubled.

Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 45 minutes.
