Print Recipe

Create a warm and comforting Cinnamon Raisin Bread that evokes nostalgia and love with its sweet cinnamon and plump raisins.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups Bread Flour
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons Active Dry Yeast
  • 1 ¼ cups Warm Water
  • ¼ cup Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 cup Raisins
  • ½ cup Unsalted Butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it’s frothy.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the bread flour, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  3. Combine the mixtures: Pour the frothy yeast mixture into the flour bowl, add the melted butter and mix until combined.
  4. Knead the dough: Transfer onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Add the raisins: Sprinkle the raisins on top of the kneaded dough and fold it over to evenly distribute the fruit.
  6. First rise: Let the dough rise in a greased bowl, covered, in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
  7. Shape the loaf: Punch down the dough, flatten into a rectangle, roll tightly and place in a greased loaf pan.
  8. Second rise: Cover and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes while preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  9. Bake: Bake for approximately 30-35 minutes until golden and hollow when tapped.
  10. Cool and enjoy: Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Serve warm with butter or honey. Perfect for breakfast or as an afternoon snack.
