TWD - Cinnamon-Raisin Bread


 Today’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe is Cinnamon-Raisin Bread. This bread is super easy to make and smells heavenly when baking and cooling.


The raisins are soaked in water or tea. I soaked mixed fruit in Peach and Pineapple tea because - why not?


The cinnamon spiced dough is then made in a stand mixer, and the soaked raisins kneaded through the dough.

The dough is left to rise (it took mine ~ 90 minutes to double in size) before being shaped, put into a buttered loaf tin, and rising again for 45 minutes.

I glazed the top of my loaf with heated jam and sprinkled it with sugar before baking. Forty-five minutes later, you end up with a golden brown loaf that smells divine. 

Once cooled, the loaf can be sliced and enjoyed however you like:

Catching up so I made the Cinnamon Raisin Bread today…only a year and a half late…and posted it so now I’m coming around commenting on all of the group’s posts as I couldn’t wait to see what you all made! Yours is so pretty, both inside and out. I would love to sit down to a piece of yours. The sound of that tea you used makes me want to try that, such a nice flavor combination for tea in my opinion. Love that photo with the slathered piece already for me...but I'm not there, so I guess you ate it for me. Beautiful photos.
