Method &gt;&gt; Add all the dry ingredients together, other than the jaggery. &gt;&gt; Dissolve the yeast with the sugar in very less water. Then use this mixture along with additional water to knead the flour into a chapati dough like consistency. &gt;&gt; Now start kneading and continue kneading till the dough becomes slightly rope-like. At this point, place the dough in a covered bowl to rest for about 30 minutes. &gt;&gt; Once it has risen, pinch it down, shape it into a loaf, place in a 8 inch by 4 inch bread mould and keep covered for another 30 minutes. &gt;&gt; Sprinkle some flax seeds on top and bake at 190 degrees for 45 minutes. Let it cool then slice it and enjoy.

Method &gt;&gt; Heat the oven to 180&deg; C. &gt;&gt; In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. &gt;&gt; Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar on medium-high speed until fluffy for 2 to 3 minutes. &gt;&gt; One at a time, beat in the eggs, then add the vanilla essence. Reduce the speed to low and gradually add the flour mixture, mixing until just combined (do not over-mix). Mix in the oats and raisins by hand. &gt;&gt; Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of the dough onto baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. &gt;&gt; Bake, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until golden for 12 to 14 minutes. &gt;&gt; Cool slightly on the baking sheets, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
