Ingredients
- 240 milliliters Warm water
- 2 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 30 grams Honey
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 375 grams All-purpose flour
- 60 grams Whole wheat flour
- 150 grams Raisins
- 1 tablespoon Ground cinnamon
- 65 grams Unsweetened applesauce
- 30 grams Granulated sugar
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, honey, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.
Step 2
Add the salt, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and unsweetened applesauce to the yeast mixture. Stir until the dough begins to come together.
Step 3
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Add a little more plain flour if needed to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm area until it doubles in size, approximately 1 to 1.5 hours.
Step 5
Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release the air. Roll it out into a rectangle about 12x8 inches on a floured surface.
Step 6
Mix the ground cinnamon and granulated sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle this cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.
Step 7
Sprinkle the raisins evenly on top of the cinnamon-sugar layer.
Step 8
Starting from one of the shorter sides, tightly roll the dough into a log, pinching the seam to seal it.
Step 9
Place the rolled dough into a lightly greased 9x5 inch loaf pan. Cover it again and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes until it is doughy and well-risen, peaking a bit over the edge of the pan.
Step 10
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) while the dough is doing its final rise.
Step 11
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
Step 12
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
