All About The Polish Sweet Bread With Raisins Or Bułka Z Rodzynkami

My auntie makes a delicious raisin bread that’s as delicious as the raisin babka. This traditional yeast-based Polish bread is not as rich as the babka, but is just as irresistible, especially as a breakfast bread! Slather some soft butter, jam, or honey on it and you’re in heaven!

Did you know that this bread is also popular in the Netherlands where it’s called krentenbollen and served with butter or cheese! There’s also a famous Danish saying ‘Het Leven Is Geen Krentenbol’ which means ‘Życie to nie jest bułeczka z rodzynkami’ or ‘Life is not a raisin bun’. True, isn’t it?

How To Make Sweet Polish Raisin Bread

While the oven is preheating to 95°F (35°C), melt the butter in warm milk. Add the other ingredients to the butter-milk mixture and knead well.

Oil two bread pans and fill them with the bułka z rodzynkami dough. Cover them with a cloth and allow to rise for an hour in the warm oven.

Once the bread dough has risen, remove the cloths. Change the oven temperature to 392°F (200°C) and bake the sweet Polish raisin bread for 25-30 minutes. This yeast bread tends to get a bit dry, so serve it with butter or jam, and a glass of milk or hot cocoa!

Tips For Making Mouth-Watering Polish Sweet Bread With Raisins
