Raisin & Cranberry Bread

I was actually planning to make Mexican Raisin Bun but when I spotted this recipe at the back of bread flour packet, I decided to give it a try. The steps were very easy to follow and not many ingredients required too. However, I felt the texture was not as soft as bread but more of a cake texture. The taste with Raisins, Cranberries and Almond added great flavor to the loaf. The other constraint is I did not have the right mixer to mix the dough, so I will do my next bread once I get hold of one soon.

300g Bread Flour
