Questions about Raisin bread
How do you toast raisin bread without burning the fruit?
Use a medium toaster setting: the sugars in the raisins brown faster than the bread. For an even gentler result, toast it under a grill, turning once and watching closely.
Can you toast raisin bread straight from the freezer?
Yes. Put a frozen slice straight into the toaster and use a low-to-medium setting; it may need an extra cycle to heat through. Freeze slices separately so you can take out only what you need.
How should you store raisin bread?
Keep it in a sealed bag or bread bin at room temperature and use it within a few days. For longer storage, freeze individual slices; refrigeration can make the bread go stale faster.
What can you make with stale raisin bread?
Use it for bread-and-butter pudding or French toast. For French toast, dip slices briefly in beaten egg and milk, then fry in butter over a moderate heat for a few minutes on each side until golden and set.
What goes well with raisin bread?
Toast it and spread with butter, cream cheese or nut butter; sharp cheddar is a good savoury contrast to the sweet raisins. It also works well with sliced apple or pear.
Can dogs eat raisin bread?
No. Raisins can be toxic to dogs, and raisin bread may contain enough to pose a risk; keep it out of reach and contact a vet promptly if a dog eats any.
How is raisin bread different from a currant bun?
Raisin bread is usually sliced and less rich, while a currant bun is a small, individually shaped enriched bread. Per 100 g, a currant bun has 280 kcal and 5.6 g fat, compared with 274 kcal and 4.4 g fat in raisin bread.
