Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cardamom
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Instant dry yeast
- 0.75 cup Golden raisins
- 0.5 cup Sliced almonds
Instructions
Warm the milk slightly to lukewarm, around 100°F (37°C). Add the milk to the bread machine pan.
Add the butter (cut into small pieces), egg, and vanilla extract to the bread machine pan.
Sprinkle the sugar, salt, and ground cardamom over the liquid ingredients in the pan.
Add the all-purpose flour on top so that it completely covers the liquid ingredients.
Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the instant dry yeast. Ensure the yeast does not touch the liquid at this stage.
Set the bread machine to the 'Sweet Bread' or 'Basic' cycle, depending on the options available, and a light or medium crust setting, as preferred.
When the machine signals for additional ingredients (usually during the kneading cycle), add the golden raisins and sliced almonds.
Allow the machine to complete the cycle, which typically includes kneading, rising, and baking. The bread will take approximately 3 hours in total.
Once the bread is finished baking, carefully remove the bread pan from the machine and let it sit for 5 minutes.
Turn the bread out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
