Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth.

Incorporate raisins, orange zest, and spices into the dough.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Shape the risen dough into a loaf and place in a greased loaf pan.

Let the dough rise again for about 30 minutes.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped.

Cool the loaf on a wire rack before slicing.
