Ingredients

  • 3 cups bread flour, divided
  • 1 (0.25oz) package (7g) or 2 1/4 teaspoons Red Star Active Dry Yeast
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon table salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon water
  • 3/4 cup apple juice
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup raisins

Instructions

  • In stand mixer bowl, add 1 cup flour, yeast, sugar, salt and cinnamon; mix well with paddle attachment. In saucepan or microwave-safe dish, heat water, apple juice and oil to 120-130°F. Add to flour mixture. Blend on low speed for 1 minutes. Switch to medium speed and beat for 4 minutes.
  • Switch to dough hook attachment. Gradually add raisins and remaining flour and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 to 7 minutes.
    (NOTE: For hand mixing: following above steps, mix ingredients in large mixing bowl using a wooden spoon or dough whisk. Knead on floured surface until smooth and elastic.)
  • Place dough in lightly oiled bowl and turn to grease top. Cover; let rise until indentation remains after poking dough with finger down to second knuckle, about 1 hour.
  • Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; punch down to remove air bubbles. Roll or pat into a 14×7-inch rectangle. Starting with shorter side, roll up tightly, pressing dough into roll. Pinch edges and ends to seal. Place in greased 9×5-inch loaf pan. Cover; let rise until indentation remains after touching.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Bake in preheated 375ºF oven 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from pan; cool on wire rack.

My wife and I have been enjoying this recipe. We have even been making substitutions such as orange juice for the apple juice and chopped dried mangoes/apricots for the raisins or even pineapple juice with candied lemon and orange peel. It would be nice to make 2 loaves at the same time. Aside from the yeast, does one simply double the amount of ingredients?

Hi Don – Sounds like you and your wife are enjoying this recipe! Love all the variations. Yes, you can double the recipe – double all ingredients, including the yeast.
Happy baking!

I’ve been baking the Apple Cinnamon Raisin Bread since 1976. It is the most delicious and easy to make recipe that you’d be able to find. I believe could even be enjoyed by vegans!

I tried to get a “one loaf white sandwich bread recipe”forever. Using your quick rise yeast. Can you help me find one on this site?
