1 package active dry yeast1/4 cup warm water2 cups milk scalded1/3 cup sugar2 teaspoons salt1/4 cup shortening2 cups raisins1/2 cup sugar2 tablespoons cinnamon5 ¾ to 6 ¼ cups all purpose flour (can substitute some or all for whole wheat flour)
Soften yeast in warm water (110). Combine hot milk, 1/3 cup sugar, salt, raisins and shortening. Cool to lukewarm.
Stir in 2 cups of the flour, beat well. Add softened yeast, mix. Add more flour to make moderately stiff dough. Knead on floured surface work in rest of four, until dough is smooth and satiny. (This takes about 8-10 minutes. You can do it in a mixer with a dough hook if you have it.)

Punch dough down. Make two balls. Cover and let dough rest 10 minutes.

Cover, let rise til double about an hour.
Bake at 375 for about 30 minutes.
Make sure top of bread does not burn. Test to see if bread is done by turning out of pan and thumping on bottom of loaf. It should make a thumping hollow sound. Do not sprinkle too much water or bread will be soggy. If crust is getting too dark cover loaves loosely while baking with foil.
Makes 2 loaves, 10 slices each.
