Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
- 0.75 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 cup raisins
- 1.25 cups warm water
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, salt, and ground cinnamon. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the ingredients.
Step 2
Add the raisins into the dry mixture and stir to coat them well with the flour mixture. This will help them distribute more evenly throughout the dough.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, combine the warm water, honey, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract. Stir well until the honey is fully dissolved in the liquid.
Step 4
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or a dough hook if using a stand mixer, until a rough dough forms.
Step 5
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead by hand for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Alternatively, knead in a stand mixer with a dough hook for about 5-7 minutes.
Step 6
Once kneaded, shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free area for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the dough has doubled in size.
Step 7
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 8
After the first rise, punch down the dough to release excess air. On a lightly floured surface, shape the dough into a rectangle that is roughly the width of your loaf pan.
Step 9
Roll the dough up tightly from the shorter side, pinching the seams to seal. Place the rolled dough seam side down into the prepared loaf pan.
Step 10
Cover the pan with a towel, and let the dough rise again in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until it rises slightly over the edge of the pan.
Step 11
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Step 12
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 13
Slice and enjoy your homemade low fat cinnamon raisin bread!
