- Roll out on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle 1/2 inch thick. Moisten dough with 2 tablespoons milk. Mix together 3/4 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons cinnamon, and sprinkle mixture on top of the moistened dough. Roll up tightly; the roll should be about 3 inches in diameter.

CINNAMON RAISIN BREAD WITH MAPLE GLAZE
From The Vista Verde Ranch, Steamboat Springs, CO Courtesy of The Great Ranch Cookbook, by Gwen Ashley Walters I make this bread last night (1/13/03). It is great! My husband bought this cookbook for me on our honeymoon at Elk Mountain Ranch (also featured in the book) & this is one of the first recipes I have tried. I only have a couple of thoughts to add. One, just so that no one else makes the same mistake I did. You need to make the oatmeal per the directions on the package & add the butter to that & add it to the yeast hot. I for whatever reason thought they meant just the rolled oats. So I heated the oats & the butter in the micro & dumped it in & ended up with a really dry lump after only adding the first 3 cups of flour. So I realized my mistake & started over. The second thought is you don't have to add the glaze. I didn't & it turned out wonderful. I hope you enjoy!

Steps:
- Mix one batch of the White Pan Loaf dough according to instructions given in recipe.
- Place the just mixed dough in a clean bowl lightly dusted with flour. Cover the bowl with a towel and allow the dough to rise at room temperature (75 degrees to 77 degrees) for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, until it doubles in volume. (An indentation made by poking your finger deep into the dough should not spring back.)
- While the dough is rising, place the raisins in a bowl or a plastic container and fill with warm water to come just below the top of the raisins. (If you use too much water, you will rinse away the natural sweetness of the raisins.)
- Place the dough on a very lightly floured surface. Gently deflate the dough and pat it into a rectangle that is about 3/4 of an inch thick, and about 6 inches by 12 inches in size. The short sides should be the top and bottom edges.
- Mix the cinnamon and sugar together, and sprinkle it evenly over the dough.
- Drain the raisins and toss them with the remaining 2 tablespoons flour. Spread the raisins evenly over the dough and gently press them into it.
- Starting at a short side, roll the dough into a log. Roll the dough tightly, keeping the skin of the dough slightly taut, and tucking in any raisins that fall out, but don't stretch the dough so tight that the skin tears. Seal the seam of the log gently but tightly using the heel of your hand against the surface of the table, or pinch it shut with your fingers.
- Place the loaf in an oiled or buttered 9 by 5 inch loaf pan, and cover with oiled plastic wrap. Let the dough rise at room temperature for 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours, or until the loaf has risen almost 1 inch above the sides of the pans.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
- Place the loaf pan on the center oven rack. Using a plant sprayer, mist the loaf 8 to 10 times, then quickly shut the oven door. Spray the bread again after 2 minutes.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees and bake for 20 to 30 minutes longer, until the crust is deep brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. The crust may color quickly because of the cinnamon and raisins in the dough; watch carefully and cover the top of the loaf loosely with foil if it is browning too fast. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove the bread from the pan and place the loaf on a rack to cool. Let cool completely before slicing, or the bread will fall apart. This bread keeps well for at least 2 days.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the bread flour, rice flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the warm water and yeast. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes until foamy.
- In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar at medium speed until creamy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the eggs, 1 at a time. Beat in the yeast mixture. With the machine running on low speed, gradually add the flour mixture until a ball of dough forms. Remove the paddle attachment and attach a dough hook. (If a dough hook attachment isn't available, the dough can also be kneaded by hand for 15 minutes on a lightly floured work surface.) Mix on medium-low speed for 10 minutes (scraping the sides of the bowl, if necessary). Add the walnuts and raisins and continue to mix until the dough is smooth and springs back when pushed with a finger, about 5 minutes longer. Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Place in a draft-free area at room temperature (about 85 degrees F) until the dough has puffed slightly, about 2 hours.
- Butter and flour the inside and outer rim of an 8 1/4 by 4 1/2-inch nonstick loaf pan. Punch the center of the dough to deflate it. Place the dough on a lightly floured work surface and knead for 3 minutes. Form the dough into an 8 by 4-inch rectangle and place in the prepared loaf pan. Cover with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rise in a draft-free area at room temperature until the dough rises about 2 inches above the top of the pan, about 2 hours.
- Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Remove the plastic wrap and bake the loaf until golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes. Remove the loaf from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Wrap well in plastic and store at room temperature for 2 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your bread.
- Make sure your yeast is active. If you're not sure, test it by dissolving it in warm water with a little sugar. If it doesn't bubble up after a few minutes, it's not active and you should get new yeast.
- Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help develop the gluten in the flour, which will give your bread a chewy texture.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to work and produce carbon dioxide, which will make your bread light and airy.
- Bake the bread at a high temperature for the first 10 minutes. This will help create a crispy crust.
- Reduce the temperature after 10 minutes and continue baking until the bread is cooked through. This will help prevent the bread from over-browning.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help the flavors to develop and the bread to set.

Cinnamon raisin bread with maple glaze is a delicious and easy-to-make treat. It's perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. With its warm, spicy flavor and sweet, sticky glaze, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special bread to bake, give this recipe a try.
