Not bread,. strictlyspeaking, but Marx Rumpoldt has a recipe for a yeast cake that includes raisins. It's probably what we'd call a bread these days. He advises the reader that the dpough can be baked in the shape of a cookpot (you bake it in a clay pot and break it afterwards). There's also  a recipe for raisin fritters. 

I have a transcription lying around somewhere, but I think it's also in the online Rumpoldt.
