1. Sift the flour into a large bowl and create a well in the center. Add sugar, a pinch of salt, and dry yeast into the well.

3. Add the egg and softened butter. Knead into a smooth dough.
4. Incorporate the raisins into the dough and knead until evenly distributed.
5. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
6. Knead the risen dough again and form it into 4 equal balls.
7. Place the balls staggered in the greased loaf pan, cover, and let rise for another 1 hour.
8. Brush the raisin bread with a mixture of beaten egg yolk and milk, and sprinkle with almonds and pearl sugar.
9. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and bake the bread for about 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
