YEAST BREAD: Ukrainian Babka

2 1/4 tsp. instant yeast
3 cups flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup milk
1 stick butter (1/4 lb.)
3 eggs
1 tbsp. grated orange rind
1/2 - 3/4 cup golden raisins

Melt butter in milk and cool to lukewarm. Put all ingredients, except raisins, in the bread machine on dough cycle. Add raisins when machine beeps for them.

Shape dough into round and place in buttered 8-inch spring form pan. Let rise for about 2 hours until puffy (2 1/2 times volume).

Bake in 375 degree oven for 40 minutes. Cover top with foil so it doesn't brown too much.
