Description
A deliciously aromatic bread made with cinnamon and raisins, perfect for breakfast or a snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ cups water, room temperature (at or near 70°F/21°C)
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 3 cups bread or all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 teaspoon kosher or fine sea salt
- ¾ cup raisins, stems removed and separated
- 3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Add the yeast to the water and let it sit for 10-15 minutes.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, brown sugar, cinnamon, and raisins until the raisins are well-covered in flour. Let sit for 10 minutes.
- Add water and yeast to the bowl and mix just until combined. The dough should look a little sticky and stringy with some flour around the edges.
- Cover and let rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size, about 8-10 hours.
- Once doubled, pull the dough onto a floured surface and gently fold it into itself until a soft, flour-covered ball is formed.
- Seam side up, place it into a flour-dusted bowl, dust with flour, cover, and refrigerate overnight (or up to 48 hours).
- When ready to bake, preheat oven to 450ºF (232ºC) with your Dutch oven inside.
- Invert the bowl to turn the dough onto a floured surface seam side down and shape into a loaf.
- Place on parchment, score the top, then transfer into the preheated Dutch oven.
- Cover and bake for 30 minutes, then remove the cover and bake for another 15-20 minutes until browned and sounds hollow when tapped.
- Using parchment edges, lift bread from Dutch oven and let cool on a wire rack for up to an hour before slicing.
Notes
- Let the dough rise in a warm place for best results.
- This bread can be refrigerated for up to 48 hours before baking.
