Bake

In a large bowl, mix dry ingredients. Stir in the buttermilk. Stir in most of the melted butter, leaving enough to coat the sides of the Dutch oven and pool a little in the bottom. Pour batter into Dutch oven.

Use few coals under the oven and more on top. Check at ten minutes. Pay attention for signs of rapid cooking down the edges. If the edges appear to be cooking too rapidly, you are in danger of scorching the bottom - move some coals from beneath the oven to the lid, If renewing coals, add to the top first. Rotate the lid and oven 1/4 turn opposite directions when checking bread at ten and twenty minutes. Cornbread is done when firm, golden and cooked through[; twenty-five minutes or so with a hot oven, but it can be twice that if your heat fails.

The most delicious homemade cinnamon raisin bread! It has a doughy inside with sweet raisins and cinnamon, and a crunchy outer crust. Serve toasted with butter for absolute perfection!

Cinnamon Raisin Bread Recipe

(360 grams) all-purpose flour

water

tsp active dry yeast

Tbsp brown sugar

tsp salt

raisins

cinnamon

Make the dough: In an electric mixer add warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes for yeast to activate tip: sugar feeds yeast so I include it in this process. Add raisins, cinnamon, flour, and salt. Use bread mixing attachment and mix together until dough forms. If dough is too wet or dry, add water/flour 1 Tbsp at a time until right consistency.  

Let it rise: Toss dough on lightly floured surface, place in lightly greased bowl. Cover with a damp dish towel and let sit in a warm area for 3+ hours. Dough should be doubled in size. Tip: I like placing my dough in the oven with the light on (oven is off). This helps create a consistent climate for the dough while the light creates a small amount of warmth to help it rise.

Preheat oven to 450F.

Transfer dough: Place dough on lightly floured surface and form into ball again (keep lightly flouring your hands to prevent sticking). Lay dough on parchment paper, lightly dust paper to prevent sticking, and lift edges of paper to transfer dough into dutch oven.

Bake: Cover with lid and bake for 30 minutes, uncover and bake for 5-10 more minutes until golden brown.

Let it cool: Remove and let bread cool for 20 minutes before slicing.
