Instructions
Simmer liquids, orange zest, and raisins for 2 minutes. Let cool to 80 degrees F. Remove raisins and save liquid.
Into your mixer fitted with a dough hook, add liquids, vegetable oil, and all the dry ingredients EXCEPT half of the flour. Mix for 2 minutes and let sit for 10 minutes.
Add the rest of the flour and knead until dough passes the window pane test.
Set in an oiled bowl, in a warm space, for 1 hour until double in size.
Well proofed for an hour, grease a loaf pan and shape dough to fit the pan. Place in pan and let rise for 40 minutes, until dough springs back to touch easily.
Heat oven to 350F. Egg wash bread and bake until interior crumb reaches 190F. (I baked this in a professional convention oven, and it took about 30 minutes to bake. In your home oven, it might take longer.)
