Add eggs, flour, salt, remaining warm milk and raised yeast mixture. • Knead it (if necessary add more flour by small amounts), dough should leave sides of the bowl not sticking to hands, if it does so, there is enough flour. • Add 100 g of melted butter and mix it until it is totally absorbed and add also raisins. Let it rise in a warm place until it gets double its size. • Shape it into loaves (or rounds) and put it into a greased baking pan; let it rise for half an hour. • Bake it at 350 degrees of Celsius for 45 minutes until it gets nicely brown (sometimes it takes more). Later brush the loaves with egg, so it gets a shiny glossy surface.
