"Barm
brack" is the traditional Irish tea bread made with
raisins, currants and candied fruit. Here is a similar recipe,
but I have made these into delicious rolls covered with orange
glaze. Orange juice from frozen concentrate is sweeter than
fresh squeezed juice and you may prefer to use it in this
recipe.
Raisin Rolls
½ cup fat-free milk, warmed to 110°
1
teaspoon granulated sugar
1
package rapid active dry yeast
2
tablespoons butter, melted
1
large egg
2
tablespoons orange juice, made from concentrate
2 cups
bread flour
1
teaspoon apple pie spice
½
teaspoon salt
⅓
cup raisins
¼
teaspoon orange zest
2 tablespoons orange juice, made from concentrate
Orange Glaze
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2
tablespoons butter, melted
1
tablespoon orange juice, made from concentrate
1. Bread
machine method: Measure the warmed milk, sugar,
yeast,
butter, egg, orange juice, flour, apple pie spice, salt,
raisins
and orange zest into bread pan and program for sweet
bread,
dough cycle and small loaf. Go to step 4 when cycle is
complete.
2. Hand
method: In an extra large bowl, mix the milk, sugar
and
yeast. Stir in the butter, egg and orange juice, then flour,
apple
pie spice and salt. Knead in the raisins and zest.
3. Set the dough in
oiled bowl, turn once, to coat the top with
oil
then cover with a damp cloth. Turn oven on to 200
, when
you
can feel heat on your hand, turn the oven off. Let the
dough
rise in warm oven until double or about 1 hour. Punch
down,
knead 1 minute.
4. Cut into 10
pieces, turn each piece inside out to form a
smooth
roll. Place on baking sheet, brush with orange juice.
Let
the rolls rise in the warm oven until doubled or about 1
hour
or less. Sometimes it only takes 45 minutes.
5. Bake in
preheated 350° oven 10-15 minutes. Place on a
cooling
rack which has been set over paper towels.
6. Glaze:
In a medium bowl, mix the sugar with butter until
crumbly.
Stir in enough juice to make a thick glaze. Drop
tablespoons
of the glaze over rolls while warm.
Hint: These are my favorite substitute for doughnuts!
They
are
delicious served the next day for breakfast.
