Cinnamon Raisin Bread 3-15-03
Yields: One plump 9 by 5 inch loaf
Ingredients:
Old Fashioned White Bread dough,
1 batch
1½ teaspoons cinnamon
3 tablespoons sugar
1½ cups, (7.5 ounces) dark
raisins
2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose
flour
Mix one batch of the Old Fashioned White Bread dough according to instructions given in recipe.
Place the just mixed dough in a
clean bowl lightly dusted with flour. Cover the bowl with a towel and allow
the dough to rise at room temperature (75 degrees to 77 degrees) for 2
to 2½ hours, until it
doubles in volume. (An indentation
made by poking your finger deep into the dough should not spring back.)
While the dough is rising, place the raisins in a bowl or a plastic container
and fill with warm
water to come just below the top
of the raisins. (If you use too much water, you will rinse away the natural
sweetness of the raisins.) Place the dough on a very lightly floured surface.
Gently deflate the
dough and pat it into a rectangle
that is about 3/4 of an inch thick, and about 6 inches by 12 inches in
size. The short sides should be
the top and bottom edges. Mix the cinnamon and sugar together,
and sprinkle it evenly over the
dough. Drain the raisins and toss them with the remaining 2 tablespoons
flour. Spread the raisins evenly over the dough and gently press them into
it.
Starting at a short side, roll the
dough into a log. Roll the dough tightly, keeping the skin of the dough
slightly taut, and tucking in any raisins that fall out, but don't stretch
the dough so tight that the skin
tears. Seal the seam of the log
gently but tightly using the heel of your hand against the surface of the
table, or pinch it shut with your fingers.
Place the loaf in an oiled or buttered
9 by 5 inch loaf pan, and cover with oiled plastic wrap. Let the dough
rise at room temperature for 1½ to 2½ hours, or until the
loaf has risen almost 1 inch above
the sides of the pans. Meanwhile,
preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
Place the loaf pan on the center oven rack. Using a plant sprayer, mist the loaf 8 to 10 times, then quickly shut the oven door. Spray the bread again after 2 minutes.
Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees and bake for 20 to 30 minutes longer, until the crust is deep brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. The crust may color quickly because of the cinnamon and raisins in the dough; watch carefully and cover the top of the loaf loosely with foil if it is browning too fast. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove the bread from the pan and place the loaf on a rack to cool. Let cool completely before slicing, or the bread will fall apart. This bread keeps well for at least 2 days.
