Ingredients
Scale
- 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water (about 110°F or 43°C)
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup raisins (soaked in warm water)
- 1 tsp fine sea salt
- 1/4 cup butter (softened)
Instructions
- Activate the yeast by combining warm water and active dry yeast in a bowl. Let it sit for about five minutes until frothy.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, and ground cinnamon.
- Add the activated yeast mixture and softened butter to the dry ingredients. Stir until combined; dough will be sticky.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Gently fold in soaked raisins, then place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for about an hour or until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Shape the risen dough into a loaf and place it in a greased bread pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and hollow when tapped.
