HOUSE SPECIAL ORGANIC CINNAMON RAISIN BREAD

Steps:

• 1) Place the milk and the egg in a measuring cup and add water and tepid to fill up the cup.
• 2) Combine the mixture will all the other dough ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixture. Mix for 3 minutes in the lowest setting, then for 5 minutes on the highest setting. This will make the dough sticky and soft.
• 3) Transfer the dough to a bowl coated with cooking spray or oil, and cover it with a plastic wrap or a clean cloth. Place it in a warm spot and allow it to rise until it doubles in size - usually about 1 ½ hours.
• 4) As the dough is resting, make the cinnamon swirl mixture. In a small bowl mix cinnamon, organic sugar, organic brown sugar and butter.
• 5) Soak the raisins in hot water until plump - usually about 20 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
• 6) Uncover the bowl of dough and add the raisins. Knead them together for about 5 minutes and make sure the raisins are well incorporated into the dough.
• 7) Place the dough on a floured surface and roll it out into a rectangle about 10″ x 12″.
• 8) Brush each side of the rectangular dough with the cinnamon-honey-butter mixture. Remain about 1 teaspoon of the mixture for brushing the surface of the rolled dough.
• 9) Starting from the short side, roll the dough, snugly pinching the sides to retain the mixture.
• 10) Place the dough in a plan, cover it with a plastic wrap or clean cloth and place it in a warm spot. A sunny window sill or the top of a refrigerator often work well.
• 11) Once again allow the dough to rest for about 30 minutes, until it rises to its double size.
• 12) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• 13) Once the bread has risen, brush the surface with the reserved cinnamon-honey-butter mixture. You may sprinkle desired cinnamon if you desire.
• 14) Bake the bread at the center of the preheated oven for 35 minutes until it is lightly golden.
