Toasting the pecans enhances their nutty flavor and adds a delightful crunch. Plumping the raisins in warm water ensures they are soft and juicy in the final product. Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough bread. If the top of the bread starts to brown too quickly, tent it loosely with aluminum foil during the last 20 minutes of baking. For a richer flavor, substitute brown sugar for half of the granulated sugar. This bread freezes well. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil before freezing.
