Time 2h25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/3 cup Raisins
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1/4 cup Light Brown Sugar
1 tablespoon Cinnamon
2 cups All-Purpose Flour (regular or gluten-free measure-for-measure flour blend) (see Notes below on measuring the flour)
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/4 cup Unsalted Butter (Softened)
1 cup Granulated Sugar
1 Egg
1/2 cup Milk
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2-4 tbsp. heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9x5 loaf pan with a non-stick baking spray. PRO TIP: Line the bottom with parchment paper and spray the paper for easier removal.
  • Add the raisins and vanilla extract to a small bowl. Fill with boiling water with 1/2 inch of water over the top of the raisins. Soak the raisins for 15 minutes, then drain them and set them on a towel to dry.
  • In another small bowl, mix together the light brown sugar and cinnamon. Take a spoonful of the brown sugar mixture and stir it together with the raisins. Set aside. The rest of the sugar mixture will be used in the bread.
  • In a medium sized bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl (or bowl of a standing mixer), beat together the sugar and butter until it's light and fluffy.
  • Add in the egg and mix again, just until combined.
  • Slowly add in the flour mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix just until everything is combined, do not over mix.
  • Fold in the raisins.
  • Spread half of the batter along the bottom of the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the brown sugar mixture on top of the batter.
  • Spoon the remaining batter on top and spread to the edge. Sprinkle the remaining brown sugar mixture all over the top.
  • Bake for 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cool for 10 minutes before moving the bread to a cooling rack. Cool for about an hour before icing and cutting.

This is the best Cinnamon Raisin Bread I've ever had! It really has a great consistency and smells WONDERFUL while baking. I made this for the first time about a year ago and since it makes 3 loaves, I gave one to my neighbor. Now she asks for it constantly and since it is so fun to make, I oblige her, plus I get to keep the other 2 loaves!

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 3h45m

Yield 3 loaves, 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup warm water (must be between 110-115 degrees)
2 (1/4 ounce) packages active dry yeast
3 eggs
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup raisins
8 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons milk
1 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter, melted (approx.)

Steps:

  • Warm the milk in a small sauce pan on the stove until it just starts to bubble, stirring occasionally.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Let cool until lukewarm, about 120-125 degrees.
  • Dissolve yeast in warm water and set aside until yeast is frothy, about 10 minutes or so (make sure your water is at the correct temperature or the yeast won't activate.) Then mix in eggs, sugar, butter salt and raisins (stir in the cooled milk slowly so you don't cook the eggs.) Add the flour gradually to make a stiff dough.
  • Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for a few minutes until smooth.
  • Place in a large, buttered, mixing bowl and turn to grease the surface of the dough.
  • Cover with a warm, damp cloth and let rise (I like to let my bread rise in the oven with the light on. It has just the right amount of heat and keeps the bread out of drafts.) Allow to rise until doubled, usually about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Roll out on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle 1/2 inch thick.
  • Moisten the dough with 2 tablespoons milk and rub all over the dough with your hands.
  • Mix together 1 cup of sugar and 3 tablespoons cinnamon and sprinkle mixture evenly on top of the moistened dough.
  • Roll up tightly (the long way).
  • The roll should be about 3 inches in diameter.
  • Cut into thirds, and tuck under ends and pinch bottom together.
  • Place loaves into well greased (you can use Crisco or butter for this) 9 x 5 inch pans and lightly grease tops of loaves.
  • Let rise in warm place, uncovered, again for about an hour.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until loaves are lightly browned and sound hollow when tapped.
  • Remove from oven and let cool on rack.
  • Take melted butter and spread over tops of loaves.
  • After about 20 minutes, lay loaves on their sides and remove from pans.
  • Allow to cool before slicing.
