CRANBERRY CINNAMON BREAD (BREAD MACHINE)

This is so good. You may substitute raisins in place of the cranberries if you like. There is a Cranberry Bread that I buy at the store but it only comes out near the holidays and is very expensive. I love it but will never buy it again because this tastes almost like it and much better. It has just a hint of cinnamon and you can smell it when toasted. This is also good grilled with peanut butter, bananas, and honey.

World's Best Cinnamon Raisin Bread (Not Bread Machine) image

This is the best Cinnamon Raisin Bread I've ever had! It really has a great consistency and smells WONDERFUL while baking. I made this for the first time about a year ago and since it makes 3 loaves, I gave one to my neighbor. Now she asks for it constantly and since it is so fun to make, I oblige her, plus I get to keep the other 2 loaves!

Time 3h45m

Yield 3 loaves, 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup warm water (must be between 110-115 degrees)
2 (1/4 ounce) packages active dry yeast
3 eggs
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup raisins
8 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons milk
1 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter, melted (approx.)

Steps:

  • Warm the milk in a small sauce pan on the stove until it just starts to bubble, stirring occasionally.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Let cool until lukewarm, about 120-125 degrees.
  • Dissolve yeast in warm water and set aside until yeast is frothy, about 10 minutes or so (make sure your water is at the correct temperature or the yeast won't activate.) Then mix in eggs, sugar, butter salt and raisins (stir in the cooled milk slowly so you don't cook the eggs.) Add the flour gradually to make a stiff dough.
  • Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for a few minutes until smooth.
  • Place in a large, buttered, mixing bowl and turn to grease the surface of the dough.
  • Cover with a warm, damp cloth and let rise (I like to let my bread rise in the oven with the light on. It has just the right amount of heat and keeps the bread out of drafts.) Allow to rise until doubled, usually about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Roll out on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle 1/2 inch thick.
  • Moisten the dough with 2 tablespoons milk and rub all over the dough with your hands.
  • Mix together 1 cup of sugar and 3 tablespoons cinnamon and sprinkle mixture evenly on top of the moistened dough.
  • Roll up tightly (the long way).
  • The roll should be about 3 inches in diameter.
  • Cut into thirds, and tuck under ends and pinch bottom together.
  • Place loaves into well greased (you can use Crisco or butter for this) 9 x 5 inch pans and lightly grease tops of loaves.
  • Let rise in warm place, uncovered, again for about an hour.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until loaves are lightly browned and sound hollow when tapped.
  • Remove from oven and let cool on rack.
  • Take melted butter and spread over tops of loaves.
  • After about 20 minutes, lay loaves on their sides and remove from pans.
  • Allow to cool before slicing.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, ensure all your ingredients are measured, prepped, and ready to use. Mise en place (French for "putting in place") helps you stay organized and prevents scrambling during the baking process.
  • Fresh Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients greatly impacts the final product. Use fresh cranberries, orange zest, and cinnamon for the best flavor. Freshly ground spices also provide a more vibrant flavor compared to pre-ground ones.
  • Properly Measure Ingredients: Baking is a precise process; accurate measurements are crucial for success. Use measuring cups and spoons to ensure the correct proportions of ingredients.
  • Don't Overmix: Overmixing the batter can result in a dense, tough bread. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined. Overmixing can also cause the gluten in the flour to develop too much, resulting in a chewy texture.
  • Let the Bread Cool: Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing and serving. This helps the bread set properly and prevents it from crumbling.
