Cinnamon Raisin Recipe

Baking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Dough

   In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

2. 2

   Add melted butter, eggs, salt, cinnamon, and flour gradually. Mix until a dough forms.

3. 3

   Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

4. 4

   Add Raisins

   Incorporate the raisins into the dough, kneading gently until evenly distributed.

5. 5

   First Rise

   Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.

6. 6

   Shape the Loaf

   Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased loaf pan.

7. 7

   Second Rise

   Cover the loaf and let it rise again until it has risen above the rim of the pan, about 30-45 minutes.

8. 8

   Bake

   Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the loaf for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

9. 9

   Cool and Serve

   Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
