Instructions

  1. Pour hot water over the raisins and leave to soak for a few hours.
  2. Dissolve the yeast in a little water. Sift the flour into a baking bowl, add the quark, sugar, butter, eggs and salt. Add the yeast and knead everything into a smooth, shiny dough. Finally knead in the drained raisins and shape the dough into a roll.
  3. Grease a medium-sized loaf pan well, add the batter and cover and let rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size.
  4. In the meantime preheat the oven to 200 ° C (fan oven 180 ° C, gas mark 3). Bake the mares in the oven for about 30 minutes. Make sure to do the chopstick test to be sure that the mare is ready! If it is not ready yet and is still brown, cover with aluminum foil and finish baking.
  5. After baking, take the mares out of the mold immediately and let them cool on a wire rack.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
