Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole milk
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 unit Large egg
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 3 cups Bread flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 0.75 cup Raisins
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Water

Directions

Step 1

Pour the milk into the bread machine pan, followed by the softened butter, egg, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Add the bread flour, ensuring it covers the liquid ingredients completely.

Step 3

Create a small indentation in the center of the flour (but not down to the liquid) and add the active dry yeast.

Step 4

Place the pan into the bread machine, select the 'Sweet Bread Cycle,' and start the machine.

Step 5

After the initial mixing phase (or when your machine prompts to add mix-ins), add the raisins to the dough.

Step 6

While the dough is kneading, in a small bowl, mix the ground cinnamon, brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of water to create the cinnamon swirl paste.

Step 7

When the dough cycle completes and the machine signals for shaping, remove the dough and transfer it to a clean surface lightly dusted with flour.

Step 8

Roll the dough into a rectangle approximately 12x8 inches.

Step 9

Spread the cinnamon paste evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border along the edges.

Step 10

Starting from one short end, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seam and ends to seal.

Step 11

Place the rolled dough back into the bread machine pan and let it rise for the final proofing stage as per your machine's instructions.

Step 12

When the machine transitions to the baking cycle, allow the bread to bake until it is golden brown and emits a sweet, cinnamon aroma.

Step 13

Carefully remove the bread from the machine and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
