Equipment

  • Stand mixer (or a hand held mixer)
  • Loaf pan
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients

  • 2 3/4 cups (410 grams) all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons dry instant yeast
  • 1 cup (250 mL) warm water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for greasing bowl
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup (50 grams) packed golden or brown sugar
  • 3/4 cups (115 grams) raisins

Cinnamon sugar topping

  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup (50 grams) sugar

Instructions

  • In the mixing bowl of your stand mixer combine the flour, yeast, water, salt, olive oil, the cinnamon and brown sugar. With a rubber spatula mix the ingredients until well combined and let sit for 15 minutes.
  • Next, gently fold the raisins into your dough. Using the bread hook attachment of your stand mixer, mix on low-medium speed for 5 minutes. If you find the dough sticking to the side of your bowl, sprinkle in some additional flour, 1 tablespoon at a time. If you find the dough is a little too dense and that some dough or flour remains on the bottom of your bowl, add 1 tablespoon of water. This might make the dough a little more sticky, but that's fine.
  • Transfer your dough to a well greased bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and place your bowl in a warm place for 60-70 minutes.
  • After this first rising, punch the dough down and shape your bread loaf. Place the dough in a parchment lined loaf pan, cover it loosely with the same kitchen towel and let it rise for an additional hour. To watch how to shape the dough into a loaf, watch video here.
  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
  • Lightly brush the top of the loaf with some water. Combine the cinnamon and sugar for the topping together in a small bowl and then sprinkle some of it over the top of your loaf.
  • Bake in the middle rack of your oven for 30 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing the bread from the loaf pan. Allow to cool fully on a wire rack, before slicing.
  • Enjoy!
