I mix & make my dough in a Bread & Dough Maker machine just to the first rise and stir down.

1. proof your yeast: combine yeast, warm water & 1 ts. sugar. After a few minutes you will see that yeast is working.
2. Add all liquid ingredients, including proofed yeast into pan first, then add dry ingredients, leveling & pushing some of the dry ingredients into the corners.
3. Add the butter to corners of pan.
4. after 22 minutes of processing in the bread maker I add my raisins
5. After first rise & stir-down I take out the dough & shape it to fit a pan 9 x 13
6. put into a greased & floured pan for another rise. Cover it with a cloth & keep it in a warm place for about 90 min. to rise.
7. Glaze with beaten egg & sprinkle with the topping
