Introduction

Sweet and tender from a warm honey and milk starter, this whole wheat bread has both corn meal and corn germ for a burst of nutty flavour that plays off the plump raisins perfectly.
If a softer crust is your goal with this already buttery, nutty tasting bread, brush the top of the loaf with melted butter right after removing it from the oven and keep the bread in the pan for 30 minutes to cool.
