You can usesome whole wheat flour in this recipe, up to 1 cup; any more than that, and the loaf will be VERY dense, and you’ll need to add vital wheat gluten (about 1 ½ to 2 teaspoons).

You could also bake this loaf in a 9-inch round cake pan and slice it the same way you would slice a boulle.

This can be tough, but allowing the dough to rise twice is a mustand is the only way to ensure that the bread will properly rise. Plan accordingly.

If you have some serious cinnamon bread lovers and want to make two loaves, I recommend measuring the ingredients twice in two separate batches.

When making bread, it’s not as easy as doubling all the ingredients and dividing the dough; this often results in a dense loaf or bread not rising properly.

The Best Bread Machine Cinnamon Raisin Bread With A Secret Ingredient

But luckily, unsweetened dried cranberries are not. So I used them in place of the raisins, after plumping them up in a mixture of water and sugar-free sweetener. I learned this trick from my blogger friend Aunt Rocky. And I based the bread dough on a wonderful low carb bread that I found on Lowcarb-ology.

But fear not. The sugar is converted to alcohol and carbon dioxide in the fermentation process, and the carbohydrates are canceled out.  So the whole shebang clocks in at just 4g net carbs per slice. 

Step 1. Add dried cranberries, water, and sweetener to a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 4 minutes.  Give it a stir and then set aside to plump.

Step 2.  In a large bowl, sprinkle yeast over warm water (like bath water), then sprinkle the sugar over the yeast. Cover, and wait ten minutes for the yeast to ferment and become frothy/bubbly over the water and sugar.

Step 4.  Use a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or a wooden spoon to stir 1 ½ cups of the flour mixture into the yeast mixture.

Step 13.  Either use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment or turn the dough out onto a lightly almond floured surface and knead by hand for 10 minutes.  If the dough is too dry to hold together, then you can add a little more water until it is kneadable.
