Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 cups Warm water
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Raisins
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, instant yeast, salt, and ground cinnamon. Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly.
In a separate bowl, mix together the olive oil, warm water, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and beat with a wooden spoon until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add more all-purpose flour as needed.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 9x18 inches.
Sprinkle the raisins evenly over the dough.
Starting from the short side, tightly roll the dough into a log, sealing the edges to contain the raisins.
Place the rolled dough in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan. Cover it with a cloth and let it rise again for about 30 minutes until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the loaf pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
