6½ ounces water
2 packages active dry yeast
1¼ ounces granulated sugar
1 ounce canola oil
1 egg
1 pinch kosher salt

In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in the water and then add the sugar.

Add the flour, raisins and the salt and knead for 8-10 minutes.
Cover the dough with plastic and let it rise for 20 minutes.
Punch down the dough to release the air.
Divide the dough into three equal parts.
Roll the dough into long ropes and braid it.
Place the braided dough onto a sheet pan with parchment paper.
Set aside to proof for 15 minutes.
Bake the bread in a 350ºF preheated oven until golden brown.
If you are adventurous, try making a 5 or 7 braid loaf.
