Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg, at room temperature
3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
1/3 cup (80ml) vegetable oil
1/3 cup (80g) sour cream (or plain yogurt/Greek yogurt), at room temperature*
2/3 cup (160ml) whole milk, at room temperature*
1 and 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
optional: vanilla icing

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Spray a 9×5 inch loaf pan with nonstick spray.
  • Mix the 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar and 1 Tablespoon of ground cinnamon together.
  • Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg and 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar together until combined. Whisk in the oil, sour cream, milk, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, then whisk to completely combine. Avoid over-mixing. You will have about 3 cups of batter.
  • Pour/spread half of the batter into prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle almost all of the cinnamon sugar evenly on top (reserve about 2 Tablespoons for topping). It's a very thick layer of cinnamon sugar. Carefully pour/spread remaining batter evenly on top. The top layer of batter will want to stick to the cinnamon sugar filling, making spreading a little tougher to do, but use a spoon to carefully spread it out as best you can. Sprinkle with the rest of the cinnamon sugar. Using a knife, make a large swirl down the loaf pan, as shown in the video tutorial above. Avoid over-swirling, which will mix the layers together too much.
  • Bake the bread for 50 minutes to 1 hour, covering loosely with foil about halfway through to prevent the top from over-browning. Poke the center of the bread with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, the bread is done. Oven times will vary between ovens. My bread usually takes 55 minutes. Cool bread completely in the pan set on a wire rack.
  • Drizzle with icing, if using. Slice and serve. Cover and store leftover bread at room temperature for 1 day or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

WHOLE-WHEAT CINNAMON-RAISIN BREAD



Whole-Wheat Cinnamon-Raisin Bread image

Provided by Ellie Krieger

Time 4h15m

Yield 2 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups bread flour, plus more for dusting
2 cups whole-wheat flour
1/4 cup nonfat dry milk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons canola oil, plus more for brushing
3 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons instant dry yeast
Nonstick cooking spray
2/3 cup raisins
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar

Steps:

  • Make the dough.
  • Measure out 1 1/4 cups very warm water and check the temperature; it should be 120 degrees F to 130 degrees F. Combine both flours, the dry milk, egg, canola oil, honey, salt, yeast and warm water in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Mix 3 minutes on the lowest setting, then increase to the next highest setting and mix 5 more minutes. The dough should be soft and sticky.
  • Let it rise.
  • Transfer the dough to a large bowl coated with cooking spray. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature until the dough has nearly doubled in size, about 1 hour, 30 minutes.
  • Soak the raisins.
  • Dry raisins will rob moisture from the bread, so soak them first in boiling water until plump, about 30 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
  • Fold the dough.
  • Transfer the dough to a floured work surface. Picture it as a loose square. Lift up one side of the dough and fold about one-third of it across; press down on the dough with spread fingers to remove any air bubbles. Repeat with the remaining 3 sides of the dough.
  • Add the filling.
  • Mist two 9-by-5-inch loaf pans with cooking spray. Divide the dough in half; roll out each half into an 8-inch square. Brush each square with canola oil, then sprinkle with the cinnamon (it's high in antioxidants!), brown sugar and raisins.
  • Form the loaves.
  • Roll up each square of dough into a tight cylinder; place seam-side down in the prepared pans. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature until the dough fills the pans and springs back when touched, about 1 hour, 30 minutes.
  • Bake the bread.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Brush the loaves with canola oil and bake until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the pans and transfer to a rack to cool completely.

Time 2h15m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup milk

4 cups bread flour
¼ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast
½ cup chopped walnuts
½ cup packed brown sugar

2 tablespoons softened butter, divided
2 teaspoons sifted confectioners' sugar, divided

Steps:

  • Place milk, eggs, 1/4 cup butter, bread flour, sugar, salt, and yeast into a bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer, select the dough setting, and start the machine. When dough cycle is complete, transfer dough to a floured work surface and punch down. Let dough rest for 10 minutes.
  • Mix walnuts, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl.
  • Divide dough in half and roll each half into a rectangle about 9x14 inches. Spread 1 tablespoon softened butter over the top of each dough rectangle and evenly sprinkle dough with half the walnut mixture. Roll dough rectangles, starting from the short ends, and pinch seams closed.
  • Grease 2 9x5-inch loaf pans. Fit the rolled loaves into the loaf pans with seam sides down. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bake loaves in the preheated oven until lightly golden brown and bread sounds hollow when tapped, about 30 minutes. If loaves brown too quickly, lightly cover with aluminum foil for the last 10 minutes of baking. Let bread cool for 10 minutes before removing to finish cooling on wire racks. Sprinkle tops of each loaf with 1 teaspoon confectioners' sugar.

Tips:

  • Activate the yeast properly: Always check the expiration date on your yeast packet. Warm the milk to a temperature between 105-115°F (40-46°C), as this is the ideal temperature for activating the yeast. Proof the yeast for 5-10 minutes before using it in the recipe, ensuring it is active and bubbly.
  • Measure your ingredients accurately: Baking is a science, so precise measurements are crucial for successful results. Use a kitchen scale to weigh your ingredients, as this provides the most accurate measurements. If you don't have a scale, use measuring cups, making sure to level off the ingredients with a knife or straight edge.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: The ideal temperature for rising dough is between 75-85°F (24-29°C). Place the dough in a warm spot, such as a turned-off oven with the light on, to create a warm environment for the dough to rise properly.
  • Don't over-knead the dough: Over-kneading the dough can result in a tough and dense loaf of bread. Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, but avoid overworking it. A good rule of thumb is to knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes.
  • Shape the dough properly: Before baking, shape the dough into the desired shape, whether it's a loaf, a bun, or a roll. Make sure the dough is evenly shaped and has a smooth surface. This will help ensure even baking and a beautiful presentation.

Conclusion:

Honey wheat cinnamon swirl bread is a delightful and versatile bread perfect for breakfast, snacks, or even as a side dish with meals. By following the tips and tricks mentioned above, you can create a delicious and aromatic loaf of bread that is sure to impress your family and friends. Experiment with different variations, such as adding nuts, raisins, or chocolate chips, to create unique and flavorful loaves of bread.
