RAISIN CINNAMON BREAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add milk, 1/3 cup sugar, oil, salt and 2 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Add raisins and enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. , Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1/4 hours. , Punch dough down. On a lightly floured surface, divide in half. Roll each into a 15x7-in. rectangle. Combine cinnamon and remaining sugar; sprinkle over dough. Sprinkle with water. Starting with a short side, roll up tightly, jelly-roll style. Pinch seams and ends to seal. Place, seam side down, in two greased 9x5-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. , Preheat oven to 350°. Bake 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely. Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over warm loaves.

CINNAMON CRANBERRY RAISIN BREAD

Steps:

• 1. Cut the cube of butter into lots of little pieces and toss with about 1 Tablespoon of flour. Set aside to soften.
• 2. In a small saucepan, heat the milk until steamy. This helps scald the milk, which kills enzymes that might inhibit yeast growth. (This is why the original recipe calls for dry milk, which I do not regularly carry. Dry milk is missing this enzyme.) Pour in the cool water which will help cool the milk. You want to make sure the milk is not over 110 degrees or it will kill the yeast.
• 3. In the bowl of a standing mixer, put the flour, sugar and yeast and whisk. Add the cooled milk/water mixture with the egg. Using a wooden spoon, start mixing the liquids with the dry goods. Add the dough hook and let it run on medium low until it is a cohesive mass, about 2 minutes.Cover with plastic wrap and let sit 20 minutes.
• 4. Turn the mixer on again and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes more. Now add the butter bits one at a time, mixing until incorporated into the dough. It will seem too slick at first but should absorb into the dough. If you absolutely need to, add a bit of flour to keep it from being too sticky. Add the raisins/cranberries and mix 1 more minute.Remove bowl from machine.
• 5. Using a bowl scraper, or rubber spatula, fold dough over itself by gently lifting and folding edge of dough toward middle. Turn bowl 90 degrees; fold again. Turn bowl and fold dough 6 more times (total of 8 folds).
• 6. For this loaf, put a pan of boiling hot water in a bowl or cake pan in the oven, cover the dough with plastic wrap or a damp tea towel and place in the oven to rise for about 45 minutes. I like to prepare my loaf pans with parchment paper for this bread, in case it leaks and gets sticky. I just cut a piece to be as long as the loaf pan, then press it in, letting it overlap the sides. Then I can lift the bread out with the parchment.
• 7. After the first rise, take the dough out and gently deflate. Repeat folding steps 8 times, cover and let rise again 45 minutes. This is going to give it a fine crumb.
• 8. Whisk filling ingredients together and set aside. (I have never seen powdered sugar used in filling before. But it has corn starch in it, which would help keep filling in-tact.)
• 9. Divide the dough into 2 pieces.Roll the dough, one piece at at time, to about 7" x 18". Use a misting bottle to spray water over the dough. Then sprinkle half the filling over it and mist with more water, just to keep in intact, not runny. Roll up, pinch edges and work on the next one.
• 10. Before putting them in the pan, its time to twist! (the fun part). Lay one of the logs of dough in front of you. starting about 1 inch from one end, cut the dough in half down the long center. Gently turn the cut sides slightly up and start twisting them one over the other, round and round. Then seal the ends and place in the pans.
• 11. Cover and let rise (right on the counter tops this time) about an hour, until its about 1" above the loaf pan.Preheat the oven to 350. Mix your egg with a teaspoon of water or milk to make an egg wash and brush this over the loaves right before putting the oven.(you could sprinkle with some cinnamon sugar at this point, but keep in mind it will darken the loaves quite a bit.)
• 12. Place the loaves in the oven and bake until well browned about 25 minutes.(If it is getting too brown for your taste, lightly cover with a piece of aluminium foil.) Then reduce the oven temperature to 325 and bake another 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reached 190-200 degrees.Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove to a rack to continue cooling. Slice it up and enjoy!

HOMEMADE RAISIN BREAD

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Dissolve the yeast in the warm water.
• In a large bowl, combine the raisins, warm milk, butter, sugar, and salt; stir to dissolve the sugar. Let the mixture cool to lukewarm.
• Stir 1 1/2 cups of the flour into the milk mixture and beat until smooth.
• Add the yeast mixture and the beaten eggs to the milk mixture and mix to blend well.
• Add enough of the remaining flour to make a soft but stiff dough.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
• Butter or oil a large bowl. Place the dough in the greased bowl. Turn it over to grease the entire surface of the dough.
• Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let it stand in a warm, draft-free place until it has doubled in bulk, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Punch the dough down and divide it into two equal portions. Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rest for 10 minutes.
• Shape the dough into two loaves and place them in two greased 8-by-4-inch loaf pans .
• Cover the pans with a kitchen towel and let the loaves rise for about 45 to 60 minutes, or until the dough has almost doubled in bulk. Then preheat oven to 375 F.
• Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Place foil over the loaves for the last 10 minutes if they look overly brown.
• Remove the loaves from the pans and let them cool on racks. Serve and enjoy!

HOMEMADE CINNAMON RAISIN BREAD

Steps:

• Combine milk, brown sugar, and yeast in a bowl or measuring cup. Let sit for 10 minutes, until foamy. This indicates that the yeast is alive and well. Pour the yeast liquid into the bowl of a stand mixer, and add oil and eggs. Whisk to combine the wet ingredients, then add flour and salt. Use the dough hook or a spatula to roughly combine the wet and dry ingredients into a shaggy dough. Add the raisins, then fit the bowl and dough hook to the stand mixer. Knead on medium low speed for 10 minutes. Remove the dough hook, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and let the dough rise for 1 hour, until doubled in size.Flour your countertop as lightly as possible, then spread and stretch the dough into a rectangle that is the length of your loaf pan, about 9 inches by 18 inches. I prefer to use a 9x5 loaf pan.Make the cinnamon filling by stirring together brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter. Spread this mixture all over the top of the dough rectangle, then roll the dough up as tightly as you can, rolling the long way. Place the roll seam-side down into a greased loaf pan, then cover with plastic wrap to let rise for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375ºF, then bake bread for 40-50 minutes until the inside reads 190ºF to 200ºF with a thermometer. Let the bread cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. Enjoy!Notes:1. The 2 tablespoons brown sugar won't make the bread very sweet. If you want a sweeter loaf, double the brown sugar.2. I use grapeseed oil, but you could also use canola oil, vegetable oil, a light olive oil, etc.3. The dough will be sticky, but resist the urge to add more flour, as it will make the bread more dense.Storage: Since there are no preservatives, the bread will only keep for a few days at room temperature. I recommend freezing any unused bread.

CINNAMON RAISIN BREAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Make the dough: In an electric mixer add warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes for yeast to activate tip: sugar feeds yeast so I include it in this process. Add raisins, cinnamon, flour, and salt. Use bread mixing attachment and mix together until dough forms. If dough is too wet or dry, add water/flour 1 Tbsp at a time until right consistency.
• Let it rise: Toss dough on lightly floured surface, place in lightly greased bowl. Cover with a damp dish towel and let sit in a warm area for 3+ hours. Dough should be doubled in size. Tip: I like placing my dough in the oven with the light on (oven is off). This helps create a consistent climate for the dough while the light creates a small amount of warmth to help it rise.
• Preheat oven to 450F.
• Transfer dough: Place dough on lightly floured surface and form into ball again (keep lightly flouring your hands to prevent sticking). Lay dough on parchment paper, lightly dust paper to prevent sticking, and lift edges of paper to transfer dough into dutch oven.
• Bake: Cover with lid and bake for 30 minutes, uncover and bake for 5-10 more minutes until golden brown.
• Let it cool: Remove and let bread cool for 20 minutes before slicing.

BREAD MACHINE CINNAMON RAISIN BREAD (GOLDEN RAISINS)

Steps:

• Bread machine settings - 1.5 or 2 pound loaf, light color and "basic" bread setting.
• Unplug the bread machine and remove the bread pan from the bread machine. This prevents any ingredients added to the bread pan from accidently spilling into the bread machine.
• Pour the milk into the bread pan and then add the other ingredients (except the golden raisins). Place the bread machine yeast in last and the yeast should not touch the liquid or salt (until the bread machine is turned on and the ingredients start to be mixed together). FYI - Do not place the salt where you plan to add the yeast.
• Place the bread pan back into the bread machine and plug in the bread machine.
• Enter the correct settings into the bread machine (i.e. 1.5 or 2 pound, light color and basic) and press the start button.
• After the bread machine has finished its FIRST kneading cycle (and before it has started the second kneading cycle), add the golden raisins.
• When the bread machine has finished baking the bread, unplug the bread machine.
• Lift the bread pan out of the bread machine. Wear oven mitts as the bread pan will be very hot!
• Remove the bread from the bread pan and place the bread on a cooling rack. Wear oven mitts.
• After removing the bread, don't forget to remove the mixing paddle if it is stuck in the bread. Use oven mitts as the mixing paddle will be very hot coming out of the bread machine. Or wait until the bread is completely cooled and then remove the mixing paddle.
• Please read the tips section for extra information on how to make this recipe successfully and to avoid common bread machine problems.

BREAD MACHINE CRANBERRY RAISIN BREAD

Steps:

• Bread machine settings - 2 pound loaf, light color and "basic" bread setting.
• Unplug the bread machine and remove the bread pan from the bread machine. This prevents any ingredients added to the bread pan from accidentally spilling into the bread machine.
• Starting with the water, you should add all of the ingredients (except the cranberries & golden raisins) into the bread machine "bucket" (bread pan).
• Place the bread pan back into the bread machine and plug in the bread machine.
• Enter the correct settings into the bread machine (i.e. 2 pound, light color and basic) and press the start button.
• After the bread machine has finished its first kneading cycle (and before the second kneading cycle), add the cranberries and golden raisins.
• When the bread machine has finished baking the bread, unplug the bread machine. Remove the bread and place it on a cooling rack. Use oven mitts when removing the bread machine container (bread loaf pan) as it will be very hot!
• After removing the bread, don't forget to remove the mixing paddle if it is stuck in the bread. Use oven mitts as the mixing paddle will be very hot coming out of the bread machine. Or wait until the bread is completely cooled and then remove the mixing paddle.
• In our Sunbeam bread machine, the baking takes about 3 hours for a 2 pound bread at the light color & basic bread settings. However, some machines can differ and you don't want to be away from home when the bread machine "finished" alarm goes off! Your bread machine should show you the length of the baking time after you have entered the settings into the machine. This will allow you to know when to be in the kitchen in order to remove the bread.
• Before using your bread machine, you should read the bread machine manufacturer's instructions in order to use the bread machine effectively and safely.

RICH RAISIN AND CRANBERRY LOAF (BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• 1. OPTIONAL: I like to soak raisins/cranberries in hot water until soft. This will make them plumper and softer and keep fruit on outside of loaf from burning. If you prefer not to do this, mix dried fruit w/ pinch of flour and toss. This will keep fruit from sticking together.
• 2. Place ingredients, in order listed, in bread pan. Select loaf size (2 LB) and crust preference. I use a light setting for a tender loaf. Choose sweet bread program and start bread maker.
• 3. Add fruit when mix-in tone sounds or when appropriate for your maker. When cycle is complete, remove bread from pan to wire rack to cool completely prior to slicing. Take a whiff of that heavenly yeasty cinnamon fragrance and ENJOY!
