CINNAMON RAISIN BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9x5 loaf pan with a non-stick baking spray. PRO TIP: Line the bottom with parchment paper and spray the paper for easier removal.
• Add the raisins and vanilla extract to a small bowl. Fill with boiling water with 1/2 inch of water over the top of the raisins. Soak the raisins for 15 minutes, then drain them and set them on a towel to dry.
• In another small bowl, mix together the light brown sugar and cinnamon. Take a spoonful of the brown sugar mixture and stir it together with the raisins. Set aside. The rest of the sugar mixture will be used in the bread.
• In a medium sized bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
• In a large bowl (or bowl of a standing mixer), beat together the sugar and butter until it's light and fluffy.
• Add in the egg and mix again, just until combined.
• Slowly add in the flour mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix just until everything is combined, do not over mix.
• Fold in the raisins.
• Spread half of the batter along the bottom of the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the brown sugar mixture on top of the batter.
• Spoon the remaining batter on top and spread to the edge. Sprinkle the remaining brown sugar mixture all over the top.
• Bake for 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
• Cool for 10 minutes before moving the bread to a cooling rack. Cool for about an hour before icing and cutting.

CINNAMON RAISIN BREAD

Steps:

• Combine the milk, melted butter, and honey in a microwave safe glass.
• Heat the liquid in the microwave**** to 110 to 115 degrees F, then stir in the yeast. Let this mixture sit for 10 minutes, until foamy.
• Pour the yeast liquid into the bowl of a stand mixer, and add the flour, salt, eggs, and raisins.
• Stir it around with a wooden spoon or the dough hook of the mixer until roughly combined.
• Fit the stand mixer with the dough hook, and knead for 10 minutes on medium low speed.
• Cover the dough bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise for one to two hours, until doubled in size.
• Lightly flour your countertop and spread the dough into a rectangle that is the length of your loaf pan (I use a standard 9x5inch pan). It doesn't have to be perfect.
• Make the cinnamon filling by stirring together the brown sugar, cinnamon, butter, and salt.
• Spread this mixture all over the top of the dough rectangle, then roll the dough up like a cinnamon roll, and pinch the seam shut.
• Grease a 9x5 loaf pan with butter, and place the bread roll seam side down into the pan.
• Cover the loaf with plastic wrap and let it rise for 60 minutes, until the dough has risen past the top of the loaf pan.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F, and place a sheet pan on the lowest shelf of the oven. Add enough boiling water to cover the bottom of the sheet pan, then bake the bread on the shelf above the water for 40-50 minutes until the inside registers 190 to 200 degrees on an instant read thermometer.
• Let the bread cool completely on a wire rack before slicing it. Enjoy!
• Storing: since there are no preservatives, the bread will only keep for a few days at room temperature. I recommend freezing any unused bread.

WORLD'S BEST CINNAMON RAISIN BREAD (NOT BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• Warm the milk in a small sauce pan on the stove until it just starts to bubble, stirring occasionally.
• Remove from heat.
• Let cool until lukewarm, about 120-125 degrees.
• Dissolve yeast in warm water and set aside until yeast is frothy, about 10 minutes or so (make sure your water is at the correct temperature or the yeast won't activate.) Then mix in eggs, sugar, butter salt and raisins (stir in the cooled milk slowly so you don't cook the eggs.) Add the flour gradually to make a stiff dough.
• Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for a few minutes until smooth.
• Place in a large, buttered, mixing bowl and turn to grease the surface of the dough.
• Cover with a warm, damp cloth and let rise (I like to let my bread rise in the oven with the light on. It has just the right amount of heat and keeps the bread out of drafts.) Allow to rise until doubled, usually about 1 1/2 hours.
• Roll out on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle 1/2 inch thick.
• Moisten the dough with 2 tablespoons milk and rub all over the dough with your hands.
• Mix together 1 cup of sugar and 3 tablespoons cinnamon and sprinkle mixture evenly on top of the moistened dough.
• Roll up tightly (the long way).
• The roll should be about 3 inches in diameter.
• Cut into thirds, and tuck under ends and pinch bottom together.
• Place loaves into well greased (you can use Crisco or butter for this) 9 x 5 inch pans and lightly grease tops of loaves.
• Let rise in warm place, uncovered, again for about an hour.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until loaves are lightly browned and sound hollow when tapped.
• Remove from oven and let cool on rack.
• Take melted butter and spread over tops of loaves.
• After about 20 minutes, lay loaves on their sides and remove from pans.
• Allow to cool before slicing.

CINNAMON RAISIN BREAD

Steps:

• Put the raisins in a small bowl filled with hot water. Let the raisins plump up, about 10 minutes. Strain them through a fine mesh strainer but save the raisin water.
• Pour a cup of warm raising water into the bowl of a standing mixer or large mixing bowl. (Note: if the water cooled down, warm it up a little more. Water should be a little warmer than room temperature but not hot. Make sure there is 1 cup of water.)
• Add yeast to water and stir gently. Give it a about 10 minutes for the yeast to bloom and then stir.
• Stir warmed milk, melted butter, and salt into the water.
• Add 5 1/2 cups of the flour and cinnamon and mix on low to form a shaggy dough.
• Switch to a dough hook and knead in your mixer on low speed with the dough hook (or knead by hand for 8-10 minutes to form a smooth, slightly tacky dough). If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.
• With the mixer on low, gradually add raisins to the dough and continue kneading until they are evenly distributed.
• Cover bowl with a plastic wrap or a towel and place in the warm dry place. Let rise for about an hour.
• Divide the dough into two even pieces. Roll the dough out on the counter. Make sure that the dough is a little less wide that your loaf pan. Try to make the dough about 1/6th to 1/8th of an inch think.
• Brush the entire surface of the dough with egg.
• Combine cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl and mix completely. Sprinkle the dough generously with cinnamon and sugar mixture.
• Roll up the dough and place it in the greased loaf pan, seam side down.
• Repeat with the other half of the dough.
• Cover the pans with a towel and let the loaves rise until mounded over the top, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle with some cinnamon and sugar over the top.
• Preheat the oven to 375° while the dough is rising.
• Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown. You can check internal temperature of the dough in the center. Bread is ready when it reaches 190° internal temperature. (Note, bread baked in smaller pans will take a few minutes longer than wider pans.)
• Take the loaves out of the oven and let it cool to room temperature before taking out and 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.

CINNAMON SWIRL BREAD FOR THE BREAD MACHINE
