Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of warm water with the sugar and yeast. Stir gently to dissolve, and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 2

Once the yeast mixture is frothy, add in the melted unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and the egg. Mix well.

Step 3

In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and ground cinnamon.

Step 4

Gradually add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing as you go, until a soft dough forms.

Step 5

Add the raisins and knead them into the dough until they are evenly distributed. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 8

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air and shape it into a loaf.

Step 9

Place the dough into a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan, cover it again with the towel, and let it rise for another 30 minutes.

Step 10

After the second rise, brush the top of the loaf with the softened unsalted butter.

Step 11

Bake 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 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
