Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 milliliters Warm water
- 2 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 30 grams Honey
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 375 grams All-purpose flour
- 60 grams Whole wheat flour
- 150 grams Raisins
- 1 tablespoon Ground cinnamon
- 65 grams Unsweetened applesauce
- 30 grams Granulated sugar
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, honey, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.
Add the salt, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and unsweetened applesauce to the yeast mixture. Stir until the dough begins to come together.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Add a little more plain flour if needed to prevent sticking.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm area until it doubles in size, approximately 1 to 1.5 hours.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release the air. Roll it out into a rectangle about 12x8 inches on a floured surface.
Mix the ground cinnamon and granulated sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle this cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.
Sprinkle the raisins evenly on top of the cinnamon-sugar layer.
Starting from one of the shorter sides, tightly roll the dough into a log, pinching the seam to seal it.
Place the rolled dough into a lightly greased 9x5 inch loaf pan. Cover it again and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes until it is doughy and well-risen, peaking a bit over the edge of the pan.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) while the dough is doing its final rise.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
