Steps:

• Grease a 9-inch loaf pan and set aside.
• Dissolve the yeast in warm water (105-110°F) and let sit for 5 minutes.
• Combine dissolved yeast, warm milk, sugar, 1 tablespoon softened salted butter, 3 cups of flour, and salt. If you have a dough hook with a stand mixer, you may use this to stir the dough. If not, I recommend using a large bowl and a heavy wooden spoon. Gradually add in the remaining cup of flour.
• When the dough starts to form a ball, remove it to a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for 5 to 10 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
• Then form the dough into a large ball and place it into a greased bowl. Turn it over so that all of the dough is coated with oil. Cover the loaf with plastic wrap, or a damp towel. Place the bowl in a warm spot, not too hot, no drafts. Allow it to rise for about an hour, or until doubled in size.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Whisk together the egg and water in a small bowl to create the egg wash. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour. Set aside.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll the dough into a 16x8-inch rectangle.
• Brush a thin layer of egg wash over the dough and sprinkle on the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
• Start rolling up from one of the short sides (one of the 8-inch sides). Roll fairly tightly. Place the loaf into the prepared loaf pan. Slash the top of the loaf three times, about ¼ inch deep. Brush the loaf with 1 tablespoon melted butter.
• Bake for 40 minutes on the lowest rack of the oven, check for doneness. It should sound hollow when you knock on it. If needed, then bake for another 5 minutes.
• Remove the loaf from the oven. Allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then remove the loaf from the pan and allow it to cool completely before slicing.

SOURDOUGH CINNAMON RAISIN SWIRL BREAD

Steps:

• Starter/Levain Build
• Mix the starter, flour, and water in a jar. Mark the level with a rubber band and let ripen overnight. Use cold water and/or a higher feeding ratio in summertime so the levain doesn't finish all the food before morning.
• Final Dough Mixing and Bulk Fermentation
• Measure out the raisins and soak them in water while the dough rises.
• Mix the flours, water, levain, brown sugar, oil, salt, and 1 tsp of the cinnamon in a medium bowl. Cover and let rest 30 minutes.
• Do one round of stretching and folding, or another form of gluten development.
• Let the dough rise at room temperature until it has just about doubled in size. This can take anywhere from 4 to 10 hours depending on your starter strength and room/dough temperature. My dough needed 6.5 hours in a cool kitchen.
• Shaping and Final Proof
• Drain the raisins, lightly flour your work surface, and grease your loaf pan.
• Remove the dough from the bowl, and stretch and pat it out into a rectangle approx. 7" x 12". Sprinkle the remaining 3 tsp of cinnamon on the dough, and then add the drained raisins in a layer on top of the cinnamon.
• From a shorter edge, roll the dough into a tube and place it in your pan, seam-side down.
• Cover and proof the dough for 2-4 hours. You can also retard the dough overnight or longer, but make sure it has risen in the pan some at room temperature before refrigerating it. The dough is ready to bake when it has doubled or its highest part crests about a half-inch over the lip of a 9" x 5" x 2.75" pan.
• Baking
• Preheat your oven to 375°F for about 15 minutes with your oven rack in the second-from-the-bottom position.
• Brush the dough with water and load it into the oven.
• Bake for about 60 minutes or until the interior of the loaf is over 190F. Cover with foil if the top starts to brown too much.
• When the bread has finished baking, brush the top with oil or butter to keep it soft, and let it cool on a rack on one side to discourage settling of the crumb.
• You can store this bread in a plastic bag, beeswax wrap, or linen bag.

• Then roll dough out into a rectangle then brush with a little bit of butter.
• Sprinkle with sugar cinnamon and nutmeg to taste then roll up jelly roll style.
• Place in a greased bread pan, or cookie tray and bake for 30-45 minutes at 375 F or until when tapped it sounds hollow.
• Cover if the top is browning too fast, when you take it out of the oven you may brush the top with extra butter to make a softer crust. Also you may freeze the cooked loaf and re heat in oven covered in foil until thawed and it taste just as good.
