3. Knead to know (Image 3 of 7)
Tip the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Gradually work in the raisins and peel to give an even spread of fruity bits. Return the dough to the bowl and cover loosely with oiled cling film. Leave in a warm place for 1 hour, until it has doubled in size.
Always use a glass or ceramic bowl for proving dough. Don't use a metal bowl because metal is a good conductor of heat and it can cause the dough to rise too quickly. A warm kitchen is just the place for proving yeast dough. If your kitchen is on the cold side, pop the oven onto its lowest setting and sit the covered bowl of dough on the open oven door.
