This cinnamon raisin bread is absolutely delicious. It is better than anything you can buy at the store. It won’t last long…trust me!

Ingredients:

1 ½ c. water
2 tbsp. soy milk
2 tbsp. oil (preferably canola)
2 tsp. instant yeast
3 tbsp. organic cane sugar
4 c. whole wheat flour
1 tsp. salt
1 c. raisins
2 tbsp. oil (preferably canola)
2 tbsp. organic light brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. cornstarch
3 tbsp. water

1.       In a bowl, add the water, milk, and 2 tbsp. oil. Mix to combine.
2.       Add the yeast, cane sugar, and flour. Mix.
3.       Add the salt and mix.
4.       Add the raisins and mix.
5.       Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover. Place in a warm spot for 1 hour.
6.       Grease a 12 inch loaf pan.
7.       Combine 2 tbsp. oil, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
8.       Roll out the dough to a ½ inch thick rectangle and smear the cinnamon paste all over.


9.       Tightly roll up the dough and place the log, seam side down in the loaf pan.
10.   Cover and let rest in a warm space again for 1 hour.
11.   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
12.   Combine the cornstarch and water and brush over the top of the loaf.
13.   Bake for 30 minutes and let rest for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
