INSTRUCTIONS

• In a small saucepan, heat milk on stovetop over medium heat until scalding. Remove top layer of film using a spoon. Add butter to saucepan until melted and let mixture cool to room temperature.
• Fill a glass with 1/8 cup warm water. Add yeast and a 1/8 teaspoon of sugar. Stir to combine and let sit. Over 5 minutes, you should see bubbles begin to form and yeast begin to rise in the glass.
• In a medium mixing bowl, add flour, sugar, raisins, and salt. Stir in cooled milk + butter mixture and yeast mixture.
• Use your (clean) hands to mix dough together once you can no longer stir to combine. If dough seems dry, add a little more milk. Once dough seems soft and elastic, stop.
• Cover bowl with plastic wrap and place in Instant Pot on top of the trivet. Close lid and set to yogurt function for 3 1/2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place dutch oven in oven while it heats up.
• Remove bowl from Instant Pot and turn dough out onto floured surface and shape into a round loaf. Brush with melted butter.
• Place dough on top of a piece of parchment paper in the dutch oven. Cover and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for additional 15 minutes.
• Remove from oven and let cool before slicing.
