Homemade Lemon Raisin Bread Recipe that you can easily try at home (Vegan and Gluten Free)

Homemade bread is always the best, at least you can easily add some flavors and taste to your bread. I baked this bread with flax Egg, Organic Soy Milk and other simple selected ingredients and the texture is absolutely super. Baking your bread at home is not only fun but another way of adding extra nutrients to your Loaf. This Raisin Bread (German Rosinenbrot) is a fresh Bread that you can easily bake and enjoy at Home. The healthy sweet Organic Raisins used for this recipe were soaked for 1 hour.

The Bread Dough was easily kneaded in a large Bowl because the ingredients were accurately measured and the Dough was smooth and easy to knead without adding extra flour or liquid. You can knead your Dough even much easier on a smooth work surface but don't forget to allow the Bread to rise accurately before baking. My Coconut Glaze is optional but necessary if you need additional colour and taste on your Bread Crust, so before putting them in the Oven, I gave the two Loaves a Coconut wash with a mixture of 3 ingredients and it resulted in a golden and shiny brown colourful Loaves.
