Ingredients

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 scoop protein powder
• 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
• 1 cup warm water
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup raisins
• 2 tablespoons cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 large egg (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, protein powder, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate small bowl, dissolve the instant yeast in warm water (about 110°F). Add honey and olive oil, stirring to combine. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.

Step 3

Add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture. Stir until a rough dough forms.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 5

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

Step 6

While the dough is rising, mix together the raisins, cinnamon, and brown sugar in a bowl.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release air. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and roll it out into a rectangle roughly 12x18 inches.

Step 8

Sprinkle the cinnamon-raisin mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.

Step 9

Starting from the short end, tightly roll the dough into a log, pinching the seam to seal.

Step 10

Place the rolled dough seam side down in a greased loaf pan.

Step 11

Cover the loaf pan with a damp cloth and allow the dough to rise again for 30-40 minutes or until it has doubled in size.

Step 12

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).

Step 13

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water for the egg wash. Brush the top of the loaf with this mixture.

Step 14

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 15

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
