Recipes Tips
Here are some tips to make the perfect Sun Maid Raisin Bread:
- Make sure the milk is warm, but not too hot. If the milk is too hot, it can kill the yeast and the bread won’t rise.
- Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes to activate the gluten and make the bread rise properly.
- Let the bread cool before slicing it. This will prevent the bread from crumbling and falling apart.
