Irish Barmbrack Bread Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
1 1/2 LB LOAF
1 1/8 cup water
3 cup bread flour
3 tsp gluten
1 1/2 tsp salt
3 tbsp sugar
3/4 tsp dried lemon peel
3/4 tsp ground allspice
1 1/2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp dry milk
2 tsp red star active dry yeast
3/4 cup raisins
Recipe Preparation
Put all ingredients in bread pan in order of manufacturer directions.
This makes a dense medium size loaf (6-7 inches tall). For a fluffier
taller loaf, increase yeast to 2 1/2 teaspoons.
Have ingredients at room temperature. If necessary, warm water and
butter in microwave for 50-60 seconds on high.
For my Hitachi 101 add 1/4 cup raisins 4 minutes into first cycle. Add
remaining raisins just after resting period and as second kneading
begins.
Crust color: medium Bread Cycle: Bread or Mix Bread
This has been a successful loaf in my Hitachi B101. Other makes of
bread machines will have to make some changes according to their own
machines.
According to a close Irish friend, this does taste and look like the
bread that she grew up with in Ireland.

The nutrient lypcopene is a non-synthetic compound and part of the same family of phytochemicals as carotene. It is the reason for the vivid red color of a good number of foods.
Intrestingly, unlike many other nutrients, lycopene is not damaged if it is cooked, but is observably increased in efficacy by being cooked.
. Its key theraputic value is that it acts as an antioxidant and seems to be of use in the battle to lower the probabilty of developing cancer.
