Description
A recipe for making soft, sweet cinnamon raisin bread at home using only vegan ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup warm plant milk (about 105-115°F)
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup melted vegan butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (for filling)
Instructions
- Combine warm plant milk and yeast in a large bowl. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Stir in the granulated sugar, melted vegan butter, and salt into the yeast mixture.
- Gradually add the flour, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- While the dough rises, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together for the filling.
- Punch down the risen dough. Roll it out into a rectangle approximately 12×18 inches.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the dough. Distribute the raisins over the sugar mixture.
- Tightly roll the dough up lengthwise, starting from the long edge. Pinch the seam closed.
- Place the rolled dough seam-side down into a greased 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- Cover the pan loosely and let the dough rise again for 30 to 45 minutes, or until it crests about 1 inch over the rim of the pan.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C).
- Remove the bread from the pan immediately and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
Notes
- For a shinier crust, brush the top of the loaf with a little melted vegan butter immediately after removing it from the oven.
- If the raisins stick together, toss them lightly with 1 teaspoon of flour before adding them to the dough.
- You can substitute walnuts or pecans for the raisins if you prefer.
