We recommend a 6 Qt dutch oven pot for this recipe because it creates high & stable temperatures that are ideal for bread making. We love Lodge cast iron because they are quality cast iron and affordable! We use it with bread making, soups, popcorn, and so much more.

You can make this bread in a Kitchen Aid electric mixer (with bread attachment) or use a rubber spatula/wooden spoon and a large bowl to stir ingredients together.

Active dry yeast: You’ll need to take different steps when baking bread with different yeasts. If you have active dry yeast on hand, you will need to activate it in water before adding flour (this step is included in the instructions).

Instant yeast: If you have instant yeast, you can skip dissolving it in water and stir it into your dry ingredients before adding water. Instant yeast has super small granules compared to active dry yeast so it does not need to be activated in water first.

If you love this cinnamon bread, you might also be a fan of our cranberry walnut bread! Equally as delicious and just as easy to make.

It takes very little prep however, it does take planning. Basically I prep one morning and bake the next. It’s really just that simple.

In a large mixing bowl, measure and add in 3 cups bread flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1-1/2 teaspoons kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon active dry yeast.

No

Whisk to combine, before pouring in 3/4 cup warm milk and 3/4 cup warm water. Earlier, I added both to a small saucepan and heated until warm to the touch, not boiling.

Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let it sit on your counter for 18 to 24 hours. No more mixing, stirring and definitely no kneading until tomorrow.

Place a round dutch oven on the bottom rack of your oven and preheat your oven to 425°. Set a timer for 20 minutes.

The cinnamon raisin bread dough will be super sticky. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of bread flour and using a spatula, work your way around the sides and underneath of the dough.

If I had to make an educated guess, I would say that I spend about eight to ten hours a week scrolling through the many images on Pinterest. It is, and has been, a source of much entertainment and inspiration for me over the past five years. In fact, it’s where I first saw a recipe for bread baked like this, so I had to share my version with you. My Dutch Oven Cinnamon Raisin Bread has been a very popular blog post this past year.

Dutch Oven Cinnamon Raisin Bread was born because of my need to scroll on a daily basis. I’ve seen so many bread recipes that require no bread-making skills, but none so easy as this!

The internet, Pinterest included, is a great source of information, but sometimes, that information is false and misleading, especially when it comes to the world of online recipes! I have fallen victim to online recipes claiming the best results on several occasions. None of us can escape it, not even a food blogger!

But, unlike those mishaps, Dutch Oven Cinnamon Raisin Bread will not be one of them! I absolutely have to give full credit to the beautiful and talented Chrissie over at The Busy Baker for this recipe. Even though I made just two or three adjustments, the mastermind behind the recipe is hers alone. Thank you, Chrissie!

Easy

When I saw the pictures of her bread, I knew I had to make it. I’ve made so many of Chrissie’s recipes over the past two years, and they have never disappointed me. That is why I knew the sorcery behind a no-knead, Dutch oven bread recipe would work if she was recommending it.

The following is a list of the ingredients needed to prepare this recipe. For exact amounts and measurements, refer to the printable recipe card located near the bottom of this post.

In most baking recipes, you’ll see just the word raisins. The most common raisins that can be found in North America and either light in colour or dark in colour. Sometimes, they might be called Golden Raisins orSultana Raisins. I like all kinds of raisins, but I know some people who don’t like them at all. You can use golden raisins, Thompson, sultana, etc. Use what you have on hand. Otherwise, you can leave them out completely.

In terms of the ground spices, if you do not have all of them on hand, you can purchase a jar of pumpkin spice blend instead. It has all of those spices and usually nutmeg and allspice too. Honestly, it will not make a whole lot of difference. If you’re like me, you always have pumpkin spice blend on hand! I make a large batch early in the fall and use it all up by the end of December.Here’s the recipe I use to make my own at home.

You must use lukewarm water. What that means is that the water is neither hot or cold. Try to get the water as close to 110 degrees F as possible. If you do not have a thermometer, try this. Run warm tap water on your wrist. It should feel slightly warmer than your body temperature, but not hot. If you have ever drawn a bath for a baby, you will be familiar with lukewarm water!

Bread requires patience, but this one not so much. Yes, there is a 12 hour delay, but don’t worry. You won’t spend 12 hours waiting for your bread to rise, you’ll be either asleep, at work, or binging on Netflix. (I was sleeping!)

The proofing does require a full 12 hours. Do not try to cut the time short or you’ll end up with a flat, dense bread that just does not taste good. Wait it out, make the bread when you know you’ll have time – the crusty exterior, with that fluffy, moist center is so worth it!
