   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                         Dough
      3/4           cup  lukewarm milk -- (170g)
   2        tablespoons  butter -- softened, (28g)
      1/2           cup  raisins -- (85g), Note 1:
      1/2           cup  old-fashioned rolled oats -- (45g)
      1/4           cup  light brown sugar -- or dark brown sugar, 
packed, (50g)
   1 1/4      teaspoons  salt -- (8g)
   1           teaspoon  cinnamon
   2 1/2      teaspoons  instant yeast
      1/4      lukewarm  water -- Note 2
   3               cups  All-Purpose Flour -- Unbleached, (360g)
                         Topping: cinnamon sugar

Unlike most cinnamon raisin loaves, this one includes ground cinnamon 
right in the dough, rather than simply added as swirled filling. The 
result? A deep-gold, aromatic loaf studded with raisins, perfect for toasting.

PREP: 15 mins
BAKE: 40 to 45 mins
TOTAL: 3 hrs 55 mins

Weigh your flour; or measure it by gently spooning it into a cup, 
then sweeping off any excess. Combine all of the ingredients, and mix 
and knead - by hand, mixer, or bread machine set on the dough cycle - 
to make a smooth, soft dough.

Note 1: raisins or chopped dates, dried cranberries, or your favorite 
dried fruit, (85g)

Note 2  Water: Use the smaller amount in summer, or under humid 
conditions; the larger amount in winter, or when it's dry out. 1/4 to 
1/3 cup (57g to 74g)

Round the dough into a ball, and place it in a greased bowl (or let 
it remain in the bread machine), and let it rise for about 2 hours, 
or until it's noticeably puffy though not necessarily doubled in bulk.

Gently deflate the risen dough, shape it into a log, and place it in 
a lightly greased 8 1/2" x 4 1/2" loaf pan. Tent the pan with lightly 
greased plastic wrap, and let the dough rise until it's crowned 1" to 
1 1/2" over the rim of the pan, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Towards the 
end of the rising time, preheat the oven to 350F.

Uncover the risen loaf, brush it with milk or water, and sprinkle it 
with cinnamon sugar, for extra flavor.

Bake the bread for 40 to 45 minutes, until it's a deep golden brown 
and a digital thermometer inserted into the center registers at least 
190F. If the bread appears to be browning too quickly, tent it with 
aluminum foil about 10 to 15 minutes before it's done baking.

Remove the bread from the oven, and after 5 minutes turn it out of 
the pan onto a rack to cool. Once it's completely cool, wrap well, 
and store at room temperature for up to 5 days. Freeze for longer storage.

Review: Pandemic baking; After reading the reviews I didn't know what 
to expect. I weighed out my ingredients, didn't change the recipe, I 
used SAF Gold yeast. I mixed it in my bread machine on the dough 
setting. Half way through the kneading cycle I took the dough out and 
worked the raisins in since my bread machine doesn't have an "add in" 
feature on thRead more about review stating Moist, delicious and 
perfecte dough setting. Put it back in the machine let it finish 
kneading and unplugged the machine. I let it rise in the bread 
machine, turned it out, threw it in an 8x4 pan. After it rose, I 
brushed it with milk, sprinkled it with cinnamon sugar mix (1/2 cup 
sugar, 1 Table. quality cinnamon). Shoved it in a 350 degree oven, 40 
minutes later and 190 degrees, I took it out, we sliced it up and ate 
half of it before it was done cooling. It was GOOD! Will make this again.

Review: Pleasant hearty bread, mild flavor. I found that KA AP flour 
was the essential key to success. 1 cup of dried cranberries not 
soaked, the lesser amount of water worked best for me. The rise times 
were about half here in central TX, 75 degree day. The first rise was 
not much, the second rise faster and I baked when it passed the 
finger poke test anRead more about review stating Cinnamon Raisin 
Breadd had crested the center of the pan. I used a 9x5" metal bread 
pan. Very nice with butter, will be wonderful toasted for breakfast. 
4 stars because it took me two tries to make a good loaf; the first 
with store brand flour was very heavy.

Review: Very first time baking in the Lodge Cast Iron beautiful cast 
iron loaf pan and first time, ever, baking homemade Braided 
Cinnamon-Raisin-Walnut Bread. Recipe from King Arthur Flour website. 
The only change I made was to add 15 grams Kirkland walnuts. Baked at 
350 F. for 37 minutes until internal temperature was 192. ForRead

perfectly and was not dry at all. improved success with this recipe, 
weigh all ingredients in grams.

Review: Like many people, I've been baking during the pandemic. I was 
always a little reticent to bake bread because of the kneading part. 
I don't own a stand mixer or bread machine. After reading all of the 
reviews, I decided to try this recipe with a few tweaks. I used oat 
milk instead of cow milk. I swapped the oats for the same amount of 
grams in flaxRead more about review stating A fabulous loaf of raisin 
bread! meal and almond flour. I added about 30 grams more raisins and 
I doubled the cinnamon and brown sugar. I brushed the top with oat 
milk and sprinkled cinnamon sugar on top. I weighed all of the dry 
ingredients except for the cinnamon. Weighing is key. The result was 
fantastic!! I don't think I will ever buy a loaf of cinnamon raisin 
bread again. Great recipe KAF
