Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups bread flour, granulated sugar, cinnamon, salt, and instant yeast. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Pour in warm water and stir with a wooden spoon until the flour is incorporated and a shaggy, wet dough forms. Add the golden raisins and mix until evenly distributed. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let it rest in a warm, draft-free place (or in an oven with the light on) for 30 minutes. (30 minutes)

04

Step

Lightly flour a clean work surface with 1 tablespoon of bread flour. Scrape the dough out onto the floured surface. Use a bench scraper or your hands to gently fold the dough over itself several times, incorporating a bit of the flour as you go. Rinse and dry the bowl. (10 minutes)

05

Step

Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit inside the bowl, creating a liner. Place the dough onto the parchment paper in the bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise for another 30 minutes. (30 minutes)

06

Step

While the dough rises, place a 5-quart Dutch oven (with the lid) in the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (30 minutes)

07

Step

Carefully remove the hot Dutch oven from the oven. Using the parchment paper as handles, gently transfer the dough into the Dutch oven. Cover with the lid. (2 minutes)

08

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then, remove the lid and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. (35 minutes)

09

Step

Remove the Dutch oven from the oven and carefully transfer the bread to a wire rack. Remove the parchment paper. Let the bread cool completely before slicing (about 2 hours). (120 minutes)

For a richer flavor, try soaking the raisins in warm rum or orange juice for 30 minutes before adding them to the dough.
If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can bake the bread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. However, the crust won't be as crusty.
Cooling the bread completely is essential for easy slicing. Resist the temptation to cut into it while it's still warm!
