Pan bon (sweet raisin bread)

Instructions

1. Soak the raisins for 10 minutes in lukewarm water, then drain them.
2. Mix the flour, sugar, yeast, cinnamon, salt and orange zest in a large bowl.
3. Add the egg, lukewarm milk and soft butter, then knead for 10 minutes until you have a smooth, elastic dough.
4. Work in the raisins, cover and leave to rise for 1 hour at room temperature, until doubled in size.
5. Shape the dough into a large round or long loaf, place it on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
6. Bake at 180 °C for 30 to 35 minutes, until the top is golden and the base sounds hollow when tapped.
7. Leave to cool on a wire rack before slicing.
