Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 480 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 240 milliliters Whole milk
- 60 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 piece Large egg
- 150 grams Golden raisins
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 30 grams Melted butter
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, warm the milk until it's about 43°C (110°F). Remove from heat and stir in yeast. Let proof for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes foamy.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the yeast mixture, the egg, and melted unsalted butter. Gradually add the dry ingredients and knead on medium speed using the dough hook attachment for about 7-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Fold in the raisins until evenly distributed within the dough.
Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle approximately 20cm x 40cm (8 x 16 inches).
Brush the melted butter over the entire surface of the dough. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
Starting from one of the shorter ends, tightly roll up the dough into a log shape.
Place the rolled dough seam side down in a greased 23cm x 13cm (9 x 5 inches) loaf pan.
Cover with a damp cloth and let it rise again for about 30-45 minutes, or until the dough is puffed up and nearly doubled.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Bake the bread for approximately 30-35 minutes until golden brown on top.
Allow the bread to cool slightly in the pan before removing it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
