Delicious Cinnamon Raisin Swirl Bread Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
2
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk (warm)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 packet active dry yeast
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup raisins
  • 1 large egg (beaten)
  • 1 cup brown sugar

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Prepare the Dough

    In a large bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and granulated sugar. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

    Ensure milk is warm but not hot to avoid killing the yeast.
  2. Mix Ingredients

    Add melted butter, beaten egg, salt, and 2 cups of flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until combined.

    Use a wooden spoon or stand mixer with a dough hook.
  3. Knead the Dough

    Gradually add remaining flour to form a soft dough. Knead on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes.

    The dough should be smooth and elastic.
  4. First Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

    A turned-off oven works well for rising.
  5. Prepare Cinnamon Filling

    In a bowl, mix brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and raisins.

    You can add chopped nuts for extra crunch if desired.
  6. Shape the Bread

    Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle. Spread the cinnamon mixture evenly over the dough.

    Leave a small border around the edges to seal the roll.
  7. Second Rise

    Roll the dough tightly into a log, seal the edges, and place in a greased loaf pan. Cover and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.

    Preheat the oven during this rise.
  8. Bake the Bread

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.

    Let the bread cool slightly before slicing.
