Cinnamon Raisin Bread cont.



In a mixing 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
