Ingredients

• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Raisins

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the yeast becomes foamy.

Step 2

Add the softened butter, granulated sugar, salt, ground cinnamon, egg, and vanilla extract to the yeast mixture. Stir until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the flour, about a half-cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Once all the flour is incorporated, knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover with a clean cloth. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the dough has doubled in size.

Step 5

Punch down the risen dough and transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Knead in the raisins until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 6

Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan. Cover and let it rise again for about 30 to 45 minutes, or until the dough rises to the top of the pan.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Slice and toast to your preference before serving. Enjoy your homemade cinnamon raisin toast with butter, jam, or plain.
