Raisin-Cinnamon Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 1/2 to 5 c. all-purpose flour
2 pkg. yeast or quick rise yeast
1/3 c. sugar
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 c. milk
1/2 c. water
1 egg
1 c. raisins

Preparation

In large mixer bowl, combine 2 cups flour, yeast, sugar, salt and cinnamon.
Mix well.
Heat milk, water and butter until very warm (120\u00b0 to 130\u00b0); butter does not need to melt.
Add to flour mixture.
Add egg.
Beat at low speed until moistened; beat 3 minutes at medium speed.
By hand, add raisins and enough remaining flour to make a firm dough.
Knead on well floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 5 to 10 minutes.
Place in greased pot, turning to grease top.
Cover; let rise in warm place for 40 minutes (20 minutes for quick rise yeast).
