Add raisins and remaining flour. Turn onto a floured board and knead 10 minutes. Turn into a greased bowl, cover and let rise until doubled in bulk or about 1 hour.
Punch down dough and knead for 5 minutes. Divide into 3 equal parts. Shape into loaves and place in well-greased loaf pans.
Again, let rise until doubled in bulk. Bake 375 degrees for 35 minutes or until hollow sounding and well browned. Remove from pans on bread rack. Makes 3 loaves.
