Cinnamon Raisin Bread Recipe
  • Prep: 25 min. + rising Bake: 30 min.
  • Yield: 32 Servings
25 30 55

Ingredients

  • 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
  • 2 cups warm milk (110° to 115°)
  • 1/3 cup plus 1/2 cup sugar, divided
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 5-3/4 to 6-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups raisins
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • GLAZE:
  • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk

Directions

  • In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add milk, 1/3 cup sugar, oil, salt and 2 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Add raisins and enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
  • Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1/4 hours.
  • Punch dough down. On a lightly floured surface, divide in half. Roll each into a 15-in. x 7-in. rectangle. Combine cinnamon and remaining sugar; sprinkle over dough. Sprinkle with water. Starting with a short side, roll up tightly, jelly-roll style. Pinch seams and ends to seal. Place, seam side down, in two greased 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
  • Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely. Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over warm loaves. Yield: 2 loaves (16 slices each).

This recipe turned out great. I proofed my yeast and followed the one reviewer's suggestion and made sure my milk was warm. I also added Walnuts to mine. YUM! The dough rose beautifully and the bread was huge hit at work. I will definitely make it again!

For those who had trouble getting the dough to rise...make sure the milk is not too hot when you add it to your yeast or you will kill the yeast. This was the perfect afternnon snack on a cool, fall Sunday afternoon, my family loved it.

Baked this bread last night but was disappoined in the results. I followed the directions exactly but the bread came out heavy. The dough did not rise very well and the cinnamon/sugar oozed out the bottom of one loaf. It was a bit sweet also. I will make again with less sugar and I will add some vital wheat gluten to help with the rise.

I've made it 3 times in 3 weeks and am making it again today. Has turned out perfect each time. We love this made into french toast. I've never bothered with the icing because we've used for toast or french toast each time. Fabulous!

The bread would not rise for me until I added 1/3 C. gluten to the dough. Otherwise it was great! Definately will make again!

the amount of flour called for is not enough....i kept adding and adding....i must have added about 2+ cups more....the dough just kept being sticky and tacky....

flavor was good, but dough was really dense
