Ingredients

All purpose flour (Maida) - 4 cups
Dry milk powder - 1/3 cup
Yeast - 3 tsp
Sugar - 2 tblsp
Salt - 2 tsp
Dalda (or any vegetable shortening) - 3 tbsp
Warm water - 1 1/4 cup
Egg - 1

Filling

Butter - 2 tbsp
Sugar - 1/4 cup
Ground Cinnamon - 2 tbsp
Raisins - 1/2 cup

Directions

Step 1

Mix the ground cinnamon and sugar together and keep the cinnamon sugar filling ready.
Spread some butter in a 9x5” loaf pan and keep it ready. If its a good non stick pan, you can skip this step.

Directions
Mix together the luke warm water, sugar and yeast in a bowl. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes till the mixture becomes frothy, an indication that the yeast is activated.

Note : If the liquid doesn't bubble up, it means that the yeast is not alive. Please buy fresh yeast and start again. It’s a waste of time and ingredients if you continue.
Take this activated yeast mixture, flour, milk powder, salt and egg in a mixer. I use the ‘dough attachment’ in the grinder to do the job. Knead everything till it comes together.
Continue kneading for about 5 minutes, till the dough is nice and smooth. Add more flour if needed.
Remove the dough into a greased bowl. Rub few drops of oil on the top of the dough ball to prevent it from getting dried up.
Cover with a damp kitchen towel and leave it in a warm place for about 3 hours. It may take a little longer than 3 hours depending on the quality of your yeast.
Once it has doubled in volume punch the dough and roll it out into a big rectangle. The smaller sde of the rectangle should be the width of the pan.
Smear the top with the melted butter. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar and raisins all over.

Comments

Cinnamon Raisin bread is a classic bread variety in which the cinnamon sugar and raisins are rolled into the bread. This rolling creates a beautiful swirl pattern in the bread for which it is famous. The filling of the aromatic cinnamon sugar and juicy raisins adds a little sweetness to the bread. This bread is a winner when it comes to its taste and its appearance.
