Healthy Instant Cinnamon And Raisin Slice Recipes

CINNAMON RAISIN BREAD LOAF RECIPE

Steps:

• In a measuring glass or cup, dissolve yeast in warm water and set it aside for about 10 minutes to bloom (for developing a 1/2 to 1 inch of foam at the top, the bloom)
• Meanwhile, to the bowl of your stand mixer, add the egg, sugar, butter, and salt, and using the paddle, cream well. Add the warm milk and the bloomed yeast and water mixture to the bowl, and combine.
• Slowly add the flour to the bowl while the mixer is on medium-low speed until a dough forms. Add the raisins and give it a mix over.
• Flour your counter or work surface lightly, and transfer the dough onto it. Knead it a few times to combine. If the dough feels sticky, lightly sprinkle a little more flour, just enough to fold over.
• Grease a large bowl with spray, oil, or butter, and transfer the dough ball. Cover it with a warm, damp kitchen towel and let it rise for 1 1/2 hours until it has doubled in size.
• Transfer the dough out of the bowl onto a lightly floured surface, and roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick and 8 to 9 inches long (the size of your baking pan).
• Brush or use your hands to lightly brush milk over the dough. You could use melted butter instead.
• In a small dish, combine brown sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle the mixture over the dough.
• Roll the dough lengthwise, and transfer the rolled log into the prepared loaf pan. Brush the top of the dough in the pan with melted butter.
• Let the dough rise once more, in the pan, for one hour.
• Place the top baking rack in the middle position of the oven and preheat the oven to 350F.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes until the loaf has browned at the top and it sounds hollow when tapped.
• Remove from the oven and let it cool down slightly before transferring it out of the pan onto a cooling rack. Once fully cooled, slice into 8 slices and enjoy.

ULTIMATE RAISIN SLICE

Steps:

• FILLING.
• Over medium heat bring raisins and water to boil, simmer two minutes and stir in sugar.
• Dissolve the cornstarch in the water and add to raisin mix to thicken, you can use a little more cornstarch if needed to thicken the filling.
• When thickened remove from heat and add the lemon juice and the tablespoon of margarine, cool.
• BASE AND TOP MIXTURE.
• In large mixing bowl add the flour, sugar, Baking Powder and mix with a whisk.
• Cut in the margarine.
• Stir in the small egg with a fork.
• ASSEMBLE.
• In a 9x9 pan spread a little over half of the Base And Top mixture in pan, reserving the rest for the top.
• Spread the cooled raisin filling over the base and put the remainder of the Base and Top mix over raisin filling, at this point it may look a little'messy' I find dropping bits all over the top and use the palm of my hand to even it out a bit works well for me.
• Not to worry when you still see the raisin filling here and there as this spreads as it bakes.
• Sprinkle the 2 tablespoons of sugar over the top, bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes (until nicely browned).
• Note, I often make double the filling, make up one and a half times the base and bake in a 9x13 pan when baking for a crowd.

NO-KNEAD CINNAMON AND RAISIN BREAD

Steps:

• Stir 3 cups flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt, and yeast together in a large bowl. Pour in water and stir until all the flour has been incorporated and a shaggy, wet dough forms. Stir in raisins and cover with plastic wrap.
• Place bowl in a warm, draft-free space for 30 minutes or in the oven with the oven light on.
• Sprinkle a clean working surface with 1 tablespoon flour. Scrape dough out onto the counter and use a bench scraper to fold the dough over onto itself several times, incorporating most of the flour into the dough. Rinse and dry the bowl.
• Cut parchment paper into a liner for the bowl, folding it so that it sits flat against the bowl. Place dough on the parchment paper in the bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place a 5-quart Dutch oven into the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Set timer for 30 minutes.
• Remove warmed Dutch oven from the oven and transfer dough with the parchment liner into the Dutch oven. Cover with a lid.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for 5 minutes more. Remove from oven and carefully transfer bread onto a wire rack. Remove parchment paper. Cool completely before slicing, about 2 hours.
