About adding raisins to bread....

Just like when you make fruit cake, soak the raisins in hot water a little 
while until they reconstitue a little, drain well and save the water for 
bread or other recipes.  Then lightly coat the raisins with flour and add 
to your dough recipe.  The raisins aren't 'crunchy' that way and they hold 
in the dough.

Good Luck
