Easy Raisin Bread Recipe

This Homemade Cinnamon Raisin Bread is wonderful as toast in the morning and is adaptable to suit various dietary restrictions. Prep time does not include about 2 hours inactive time. From Joanne Ozug of Fifteen Spatulas.

Cinnamon Raisin was my toast of choice when I was a kid, and it still is today. I love that swirl of sweet cinnamon and brown sugar all throughout each slice, and the juicy raisins dotted into the dough.

I’ve experimented with all sorts of homemade breads over the years, but truthfully, after making everything from homemade baguettes to ciabatta to paesano, I usually leave the fancier breads to the bakery and stick to making simpler things like sandwich bread at home.

Irish Soda Bread

First, a lot of sandwich breads at the store have a lot of preservatives and additives, and generally speaking, I prefer not to eat those.

Second, I get to load the bread up with as many raisins as I’d like, and I also get to use my fancy cinnamon (not all cinnamon is created equal).

And third, it’s fun and easy to make. Really. There’s something so satisfying about making your own bread, and it makes your house smell dreamy.

The recipe I’m sharing today is adaptable to suit different dietary needs, so it can be enjoyed by many. It can be made with dairy (mmm, butter), or it can be made without it. I’ll share different substitutions you can use throughout the recipe.

To get started, mix together warm milk, yeast, and brown sugar, and let it sit for 10 minutes until it foams up. That indicates that the yeast is ready and awake!

As far as the milk goes, you can use cow’s milk, almond milk, soy milk, rice milk … pretty much any flavorful milk liquid here.

Next, in the bowl of a stand mixer, add the yeast milk mixture, two eggs, and some melted butter or oil. For oils, you can do grapeseed oil, canola oil, vegetable oil, light olive oil, and so on.

Then fit the bowl and hook onto the stand mixer, add ½ cup of raisins, and knead for 10 minutes on medium low speed.

In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and either melted butter or oil. This will be the cinnamon swirl filling.

Dust a flat surface very lightly with flour, then stretch the dough out into a rectangle, approximately 9 inches long and 18 inches wide. It doesn’t have to be exact, but you want to imagine rolling it up the long way and having it fit neatly into a 9×5 loaf pan.

Place the roll seam-side down into a greased 9×5 loaf pan, then cover with plastic wrap. Let it rise for another 30 minutes.

Bake the bread for about 45 minutes, until the interior registers at 190ºF to 200ºF with a thermometer, and the crust is golden brown.

Soft, fluffy and perfectly spiced.

Homemade

I absolutely love Hot Cross Buns and it’s simply not Easter without them. However, I love toasting hot cross buns so this raisin bread gives me all the joy of my beloved Easter treat with the added benefit that slices can easily be toasted. However, this bread is so soft and fluffy, you’d be forgiven for eaten slice after slice as is. No toasting necessary. To make this as easy as possible, I adapted my Easy White Bread recipe and just added the flavors of hot cross buns. No egg necessary and if you don’t have butter, you can use oil!

If you are not a fan of raisins or dried fruit (cranberries, chopped apricots, etc. can be used instead of raisins), use chocolate chunks or leave them out entirely. This bread recipe will be delicious regardless.

This recipe requires the usual ingredients you would need for bread: flour, yeast and liquid. If you want the dough to be a little richer, milk is a great substitute for water. Softened butter creates a moist baked loaf but I’ve made this with oil too. The spice and raisins add flavor and texture. You could use allspice too, but I don’t often have that in my kitchen.

Yes absolutely! Freeze slices of raisin bread and toast from frozen. Alternatively, the dough can be frozen in a loaf pan and baked from frozen. Baked raisin bread will last for up to 3 days wrapped in foil on the kitchen counter.

The beauty of this recipe is you probably already have the ingredients in your home. There are no rare or unique ingredients. You won’t have to worry about something only getting used once or taking up space on your shelves.

You’ll find that not many bread recipes will utilize cornstarch like this one. I learned the secret of cornstarch in baked goods from one of my favorite shows, America’s Test Kitchen. When cornstarch and flour combine, it softens the proteins resulting in a light and chewy bread.
