    Steps to Make Soft Raisin Bread

    1. Prepare the Dough

      1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg lightly.
      2. Add sugar and warm milk, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved.
      3. Sprinkle the yeast over the mixture and let it sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy. This step ensures the yeast is activated.

    1. Grease a large bowl with 1/2 teaspoon of oil, place the dough inside, and cover it with a clean kitchen towel.
    2. Let the dough rest for 50 minutes in a warm place until it doubles in size.

    3. Shape the Dough

      1. Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release any air bubbles.

     

    1. Divide it into 12 equal parts and shape each into a round ball.
    2. Let the dough balls rest on a greased or parchment-lined baking tray for another 10 minutes.

    5. Bake

      1. Preheat your oven to 200℃ (392℉).

    1. Bake the bread for 25–30 minutes or until they turn a rich golden brown.

    6. Cool and Serve

    1. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack.

    Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, letting the excess drip off. Coat each piece thoroughly in the flour mixture.

    Bake the Chicken:

    Arrange the chicken strips in the prepared pan. Bake for 20 minutes, then flip each piece and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 170°F.
    Serve warm and enjoy your crispy, oven-baked fried chicken!

    Variations

    Seasoning Options

    Spicy Kick:

    Add ½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the flour mixture for a spicy twist.

    Herb-Infused:

    Mix in 1 teaspoon of dried herbs like oregano, thyme, or rosemary for added flavor.

    Cheesy Coating:

    Incorporate ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese into the flour mixture for a savory, cheesy crust.

    Coating Variations

    Panko Crust:

    For extra crispiness, mix equal parts panko breadcrumbs and the flour mixture.

    Cornmeal Blend:

    Substitute half the flour with cornmeal for a slightly crunchy and textured coating.

    Gluten-Free:

    Replace all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free option.

    Cooking Methods

    Air Fryer:

    Cook the coated chicken in an air fryer at 375°F for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through.

    Grill Option:

    Marinate the chicken in buttermilk, season, and grill instead of baking for a lighter version.

    Serving Variations

    Classic Southern Style:

    Pair with mashed potatoes, coleslaw, and cornbread for a traditional meal.

    Buffalo Style:

    Toss the baked chicken in your favorite buffalo sauce before serving.

    Asian-Inspired:

    Drizzle with teriyaki or sweet chili sauce and serve with steamed rice and vegetables.

    Tips

    Preparation Tips

    Buttermilk Marination:

    For maximum tenderness and flavor, marinate the chicken in buttermilk for up to 4 hours or overnight.

    Even Coating:

    Shake off excess flour before baking to prevent clumps and ensure an even crust.

    Cooking Tips

    Check Internal Temperature:

    Always use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches 170°F for safe consumption.

    Prevent Soggy Coating:

    Avoid overcrowding the pan to allow air circulation and crispier chicken.

    Storage and Reheating

    Storing Leftovers:

    Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

    Reheating:

    Reheat in the oven at 375°F for 10-15 minutes to restore crispiness.
