Easy

I adapted this recipe from a sweet bread favorite, my cinnamon swirl bread. Additionally, you may enjoy my cinnamon raisin muffins for their equally robust flavor.

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.

Cinnamon Raisin Bread (Ψωμί με κανέλα και σταφίδες)

Homemade loaves of bread are just the best! This simple ingredient bread recipe takes minimal effort when broken down into three main tasks.

The Bread Dough – Soak those delicious raisins, then set aside. Mix the yeast, then set aside. Utilize your stand mixer to mix ingredients and knead the dough. Mix the raisins in last.

The Oven – Place rolled dough in the prepared pan. Let rise. When the cinnamon raisin bread is ready to bake, lightly mist with water.

Next, in a small saucepan, boil 2 cups of water. Remove the pan from the heat and add in your raisins. Leave the raisins in the water for 3-5 minutes. After that time, drain them well and set aside.

Find your paddle attachment, and then, fit it into your stand mixer. Add the flour, cornstarch, sugar, and salt. With the mixer on low speed, mix until well blended or about 1 minute.

Now, it’s time to change attachments. Put the dough hook on the mixer and knead on medium speed until the dough reaches 75°F.

Slowly add in the butter and continue kneading until the dough is fully developed. This means it should pass the windowpane test.

Next, place plastic wrap over your bowl. Place in a warm environment until it has doubled in size. This usually takes 45-60 minutes.

After the dough has doubled in size, punch it down and shape it into a ball. Then, place plastic wrap over the bowl. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes.

After the cinnamon raisin bread dough has rested, preheat your oven to 375°F. To prevent sticking, prepare the loaf pan with generous amounts of butter or line with parchment paper.

Let’s roll! Create a 10×6 rectangle by rolling out the dough. Take the beaten egg and brush it on the top of the rolled-out dough. Then, sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon and sugar mixture you set aside earlier.

Now, start with the short end and tightly roll the dough into a log. You will need to pinch the seam closed.

Then, place the loaf, seam side down, in your loaf pan. After that, cover it loosely with plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm environment. This will take approximately 45 minutes or until you notice the loaf has increased in volume by 75%.

Finally, lightly spritz the top of the loaf with water. Put your loaf in the oven. Then, bake for 30-35 minutes or until browned and internal temperature reaches 190

Then, allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 30 minutes. After that, transfer your loaf to a wire rack where it can cool completely.

To store: Once completely cooled, store in a bread box or other vented container. Bread may be stored in this manner at room temperature for up to 4 days.

To Freeze: First, slice the bread. Then, store slices in a zip-top bag for up to 1 month in a freezer. As a result, you can thaw individual slices as you need them. This is perfect for an impatient toddler or just a kid at heart!

Warm Milk. Use a thermometer to check the temperature of the milk. If it's too hot it will kill the yeast and the bread won't rise.

Bread flour. You can use all-purpose flour if you don't have bread flour. The dough will much softer than if using bread flour and the swirls may separate.

Cinnamon

Cornstarch. Using cornstarch is a trick I learned from America's Test Kitchen. When combined with flour, it softens the proteins, resulting in a light and chewy baked good. If you don't have it, you can use potato starch or simply omit it.

Instant yeast. Active dry yeast can be used instead of instant. Sprinkle the yeast over the warm milk and allow it to sit for 5 minutes. Once foamy, stir well and add it to the flour mixture. The proofing times may need to be increased depending on the ambient temperature in your kitchen.

Mist the dough. This adds just a touch of moisture that will turn to steam as the bread bakes. The steam allows the bread to expand without bursting open on the sides. It also creates a gorgeously golden crust.

Don't overbake! Use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature of the bread. Once it reaches 190°F it's ready to come out of the oven. It will continue to cook from the residual heat once removed from the oven. If the bread is overbaked it will be dry.

Soft, fluffy and perfectly spiced.

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.

Whole Wheat Cinnamon Raisin Bread

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.

Homemade

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.
