Instructions:

1. Mix egg, sour cream, butter, and sugar until blended.

2. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Add sour cream mixture and raisins; stir just until mixture forms a soft dough. Place on lightly floured board; knead 10 times or just until dough is smooth and no longer sticky. (Do not overmix.)

3. Shape dough into ball; place in 4-qt. slow cooker sprayed with cooking spray. Use a sharp knife to cut 1/4-inch-deep "x" on top of the dough. Cover with lid.

4. Cook on HIGH 2-3/4 to 3 hours or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

5. Turn off the slow cooker; remove the lid. Let bread stand 10 min. Run a knife around the edge of the slow cooker to loosen bread; transfer bread to the wire rack. Cool slightly.
