Tips:
You must have patience to make this bread. I used it for nearly 4 hours. The fermentation process is long. If the fermentation time is too long, it will have a sour taste, and the bread made cannot be eaten.
The 12th step is the second fermentation. Because the weather is cold, it can be fermented in the oven, and a large bowl of hot water is placed underneath.
The action must be fast when putting the raisin filling, the bread is easier to ferment.
