   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1 1/3           cups  warm whole milk -- (320 g), (105F/41C to 110F/43C)
   4          teaspoons  active dry yeast -- (12 g)
      2/3           cup  granulated sugar -- (133 g) plus
   4 1/2      teaspoons  granulated sugar -- divided (18 g)
   6               cups  bread flour -- (762 g)
   3              large  eggs -- divided (150 g)
   2          teaspoons  kosher salt -- (6 g)
      1/2           cup  unsalted butter -- (113 g) plus
   1         tablespoon  unsalted butter -- softened and divided, (14 g)
   1                cup  raisins -- (167 g)
      1/2           cup  spiced rum -- (120 g)
      1/2      teaspoon  ground cinnamon -- (1 g)
   1         tablespoon  whole milk -- room temperature, (15 g)

This enriched dough brimming with rum-soaked raisins and flavored 
with a pinch of cinnamon is our take on Bermudian raisin bread 
traditionally used for Bermuda fish sandwiches. The best part about 
this bread is that you don't need fried snapper and all the fixings 
to enjoy it. It's just as delicious on its own. For even more visual 
appeal, we added a distinctive raisin-filled swirl to our version of the bread.

Makes: 2 (8 1/2x4 1/2") loaves

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment 
whisk together warm milk yeast and 3 teaspoons (12 g) sugar by hand. 
Let stand until mixture is foamy, about 10 minutes

Add flour 2/3C (133 g) sugar 2 eggs (100 g) and salt to yeast mixture 
and beat at medium speed for 5 minutes Add 1/2C (113 g) butter 1 
tablespoon (14 g) at a time, beating for 8 to 10 minutes. Test dough 
using the windowpane test. (See Pro Tip.) If dough is not ready, beat 
1 minute more, and test again.

Spray a large bowl with cooking spray. Place dough in bowl, turning 
to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place 
(75F/24C) until doubled in size, about 1 hour. In a small bowl, toss 
together raisins and spiced rum. Cover and let stand while dough is 
rising. Drain excess liquid before using.

Lightly spray 2 (8 1/2x4 1/2") loaf pans with cooking spray; line 
pans with parchment paper, letting excess extend over sides of pan.

In a small bowl, stir together cinnamon and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons 
(6 grams) sugar.

Punch down dough, and divide in half. On a lightly floured surface 
roll half of dough into a 14x6-inch rectangle Brush with 1/2 
tablespoon (7 g) butter leaving a 1/4" border Sprinkle with half of 
cinnamon-sugar mixture; top with half of plumped raisins. Starting at 
one short side roll up dough jelly roll style Place in a prepared pan 
seam, side down Repeat with remaining dough remaining 1/2 tablespoon 
(7 g) butter remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture and remaining raisins 
Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place (75F/24C) until 
doubled in size, 30 to 40 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350F (180C).

In a small bowl, whisk together milk and remaining 1 egg (50 g). 
Brush egg wash onto dough.

Bake for 30 minutes. Loosely cover with foil, and bake until an 
instant-read thermometer inserted in center registers 190F (88C), 10 
to 15 minutes more. Using excess parchment as handles, remove from 
pans, and let cool completely on wire racks. Store in an airtight 
container for up to 1 week.

PRO TIP-To use the windowpane test to check dough for proper gluten 
development, pinch off a small piece of dough. Being careful not to 
tear the dough slowly begin to stretch in all directions with our 
finger. It would be similar to stretching out dough for a pizza. If 
dough is ready, you will be able to stretch it until it's thin and 
translucent like a windowpane. If dough tears, it's not ready.
