Set Breadmaker to dough cycle for 15 minutes, as this is a heavy dough and the extra kneading makes a big difference, one more rise of the yeast, as it turns out, helps! - So after 15 minutes in the regular dough cycle, then unplug the breadmaker machine, and restart in the large loaf cycle. At this time, ie start of the second cycle, add the raisins.
For a lighter loaf, less well done, take it out 15 minutes before the baking cycle is completed.
Allow two rounds minimum time for it to cool before slicing. Offer with butter and honey. Serve with water, while still warm!
