1 1/2 cups California raisins
3/4 cup water

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 to 10 tablespoons water
1 egg, beaten and divided

Combine raisins and water in small saucepan. Bring to boil and simmer until all water is evaporated. Cool and chop in food processor or blender. Set aside. For bars, oil a 9x13-inch jelly roll pan; set aside. Preheat oven to 375º F.

Combine flour, sugar, salt and soda in work bowl of food processor or mixer. Mix together. In small bowl, mix oil, water, 2 tablespoons of egg and vinegar together. Add to dry ingredients and process or mix until dough forms ball and cleans the side of the bowl. Turn onto lightly floured surface; knead together until smooth. Divide into two equal balls. Roll out one ball to 9x13-inch rectangle and place in bottom of prepared pan. Spread with Raisin Filling. Roll remaining ball to 9x13 rectangle and arrange on top. Trim edges and score 3 x 4 to make 12 bars. Brush generously with remaining egg and bake at 375º F for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown and done. Cool and cut as scored.
