Ingredients

• 420 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 7 grams Active dry yeast
• 240 milliliters Warm water
• 120 milliliters Milk (or non-dairy alternative)
• 56 grams Unsalted butter (or non-dairy butter)
• 2 units Large eggs
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 150 grams Raisins
• 1 tablespoon Cinnamon
• 50 grams Brown sugar

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit until foamy, about 5-10 minutes.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl or saucepan, combine the milk and butter. Heat until the butter is melted and let it cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, xanthan gum, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 4

Add the yeast mixture, milk and butter mixture, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Fold in the raisins into the dough.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and brown sugar together for the swirl.

Step 7

Line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.

Step 8

Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter.

Step 9

Add the remaining batter over the cinnamon-sugar layer and smooth the top. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top.

Step 10

Use a butter knife to gently swirl the batter, creating a marbled effect with the cinnamon-sugar.

Step 11

Cover the loaf pan with a clean cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 30-45 minutes, or until almost doubled in size.

Step 12

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 13

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.

Step 14

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
