Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1.25 cups Warm water
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Raisins
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the yeast becomes foamy.
Add the softened butter, granulated sugar, salt, ground cinnamon, egg, and vanilla extract to the yeast mixture. Stir until well combined.
Gradually add the flour, about a half-cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Once all the flour is incorporated, knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover with a clean cloth. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the dough has doubled in size.
Punch down the risen dough and transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Knead in the raisins until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan. Cover and let it rise again for about 30 to 45 minutes, or until the dough rises to the top of the pan.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove from the oven and allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and toast to your preference before serving. Enjoy your homemade cinnamon raisin toast with butter, jam, or plain.
