(1/3 cup) shredded coconut

This recipe makes a sweet cinnamon swirl bread with or without raisins. Use your bread machine to mix and knead the dough.

Bread Machine Cinnamon-Raisin Bread Recipe

milk (114 to 151 gr)

eggs (100 gr)

unsalted butter ((softened) 42 gr)

sugar (50 gr)

table salt (9 gr)

cinnamon (1.3 gr)

bread flour (360 gr)

instant yeast (7 gr)

raisins ((chopped

sugar (38 gr)

cinnamon (5 gr)

cloves

egg (50 gr)

water (14 gr)

Add all the dough ingredients except the raisins to your bread machine pan. Select the DOUGH cycle and press start. After 12-15 minutes, open the lid and check the dough. It should be tacky and stick to the side of the pan before pulling away cleanly. Make corrections by adding either liquid or flour 1 tablespoon at a time until dough meets this criterion.

Add raisins or currants when the machine beeps that it's time to add any ingredients you don't want mashed by the kneading action. If your machine doesn't have this signal, add them during step #4 by working them by hand into the dough.

When the DOUGH cycle finishes, poke two floured fingers into the dough to see if it has proofed enough. Your fingers should leave an indentation that slowly fills in. If the dough bounces right back, let it sit in the bread machine a little longer and test again in 15-30 minutes.

Remove the dough from the bread machine to a lightly floured or greased surface. Form into a ball and flatten into a rough square shape. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Mix together the filling ingredients.

Roll dough out to a 9 x 14-inch rectangle. Spritz lightly with water. Sprinkle the filling evenly over the dough. Roll up jelly-roll style starting from one of the short ends. Pinch the seam together to seal. Pull each end towards the seam and pinch. Place dough cylinder into a greased 8½ x 4½-inch loaf pan seam-side down or a 9x4x4-inch Pullman pan. Press down on the dough to evenly distribute it throughout the pan.

Cover pan and place in a warm place until almost double in size. This process will likely take longer than usual (1-2 hours) because it is an enriched dough, but check it at 45 minutes. Use a knuckle to lightly press on the side of the loaf. The indentation should fill in slowly. If it bounces back immediately, let it continue to rise.

Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190˚C) about 15 minutes before you think the loaf will be ready to bake.

Glaze the loaf on top only if baking in a regular loaf pan. Put the lid on if using a Pullman pan and you want a square loaf. Bake for about 35-45 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 190˚F (88˚C). If using a Pullman pan, pull the lid off about 10 minutes before you expect the bread to be done. Use a quick-read thermometer to guarantee the bread is baked all the way through.

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to sit for 15 minnutes. Use a butter knife to loosen the loaf from the pan and turn it out onto a cooling rack for 20-30 minutes before slicing to avoid squashing your loaf.

Bread Machine Cinnamon-Raisin Bread

Inspired by my love of Hot Cross Buns, this easy cinnamon raisin bread is the perfect recipe for Easter. Soft, fluffy and perfectly spiced.

Easy Cinnamon Raisin Bread

milk

g (2tsp) instant yeast

sugar

flour flour

nutmeg

½ tsp ground ginger

butter / oil ((room temperature butter))

egg (beaten (for egg wash) (optional))

Whisk water, milk, sugar and yeast together. Allow to stand for 10 minutes until foamy.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, combine the flour, spiced and salt.

With the mixer running, add the yeast mixture and allow to knead in.

Add the butter or oil, allow to knead in then add more flour, one third cup at a time until the dough is smooth. Add the raisins.

Knead for another minuted until the dough comes away from the sides of the bowl.

If the dough is still very sticky, add more flour and knead in.

The dough should be smooth and soft and only a slight bit sticky.

Cover with plastic wrap or a damp tea towel and allow to rise for 1 hour.

Once the dough has proofed, press it into  rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Press any raisins that have fallen out of the dough into the center.  Roll onto its self into a log, pinch the seam then transfer to a loaf pan that has been lightly greased.

Cover again and allow to rise for 30 minutes while you preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F.

Brush with beaten egg and place in the oven and allow to bake for 30-45 minutes until golden brown and risen. If the bread browns too quickly, loosely cover with a piece of foil and continue baking. Once baked the bread will sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Remove from the oven, brush with melted butter (optional) and  allow to cool before slicing.

I have tested this raisin bread recipe so many times, I&#039;m confident that you will find it the best raisin bread recipe that is comparable to what you can buy at a Chinese bakery. The recipe is also adaptable for a dairy-free option and the tangzhong (water roux) method is ingenious.

The Best Raisin Bread Recipe (Tangzhong Method)

all purpose flour (divided)

water (divided)

milk (non-fat) (any kind, including dairy-free equivalents)

eggs (divided)

yeast (or 2 1/4 teaspoons)

butter, unsalted (softened)

raisins (approximately 4-5 ounces)

oil oil

In a small sauce pan, whisk together 1/4 cup flour and 1/2 cup water until smooth. Cook the paste on medium heat for 4 minutes, stir occaisionally. As soon as the paste thickens slightly, lower the heat and continue to stir until the mixture resembles mashed potatoes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Into the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, add 1 egg. Warm the milk in the microwave for 20-30 seconds and add it to the mixing bowl. Add 3 1/4 cup of flour, the sugar, salt, and yeast. Knead on low speed until fully incorporated.

Add the tangzhong mixture from step one and butter and knead for 15 minutes, stopping as needed to scrape down the contents of the bowl and to add 1-2 tablespoons of flour as needed to form a soft dough. Set aside remaining flour for dusting your work surface later.

Brush the oil around a large mixing bowl and then transfer the dough to the bowl and cover with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rise in a warm draft-free location for 45-60 minutes (I usually put it in my oven with the oven light on).

While the dough rises, cover the raisins with water and soak for 5 minutes. Drain and pat dry with paper towels, set aside. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside. Beat the remaining egg in a small bowl with 1 teaspoon of water. Set aside the remaining 1/4 cup of flour in a small bowl for shaping the raisin bread later.

After 45-60 minutes of rising, check on the dough. It should be slightly puffier but doesn't need to be doubled in size. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured large cutting board or work surface and pat down gently into a rectangle. Spread half of the raisins onto the dough and roll it up along the width. Spread some of the raisins on top of the log and roll it up along the length and it will look like a rolled up coil.

Pat the dough down into a rectangle again. Use a floured knife to cut the dough into 4 pieces and use floured hands to shape the dough into long lengths. If the dough is too tight, let it relax and work on another piece. I hold the ends and swing it around gently like a jump rope to stretch the dough a bit, fold in half and then twist the two ends together. Pinch the two ends together and tuck them under and place the shaped dough on the parchment lined sheet, cover with plastic wrap and continue to shape the remaining pieces

Allow the shaped and covered dough to rise for 45 minutes and then preheat the oven to 350°F. Right before baking, remove the plastic wrap and brush the shaped raisin breads with the beatened egg mixture and bake for 27-30 minutes, until golden brown.

When ready, take the baking sheet out of the oven and use tongs to transfer the  loaves to a cooling rack. The bread is ready to eat and serve warm right out of the oven. Wait until it cools completely (at least 1 hour) before storing in a container or plastic bag. To warm and serve later, wrap a piece of bread with a paper towel and microwave for 10-20 seconds.
