    Ingredients

    Bread machine cinnamon-raisin bread is made with only few basic pantry ingredients, bread flour, salt, water, ground cinnamon powder, raisins, sugar, oil, and yeast. Bread flour has more protein compared to all-purpose flour. However, you can substitute it with all-purpose flour to make this recipe.

    The water must be lukewarm. You can use the microwave to warm the water for about 20-30 seconds. Instant yeast or bread machine yeast can be used for the dough to rise.

    Instructions

    The process to make vegan cinnamon raisin bread in bread machine will only need just a few minutes of your time. All the jobs of mixing, kneading, proofing the dough and baking will be done by the bread machine.

    Depending on the bread machine, you may have to add the wet ingredients first, followed by the dry ones, or vice versa. Select the 1.5 lb. sweet bread cycle and crust setting of your choice, preferably light or medium crust.

    Allow the bread machine to do all the work. Optionally, after the last kneading cycle, you can remove the paddle to have only a small tiny hole in the bread instead of a big one.

    Once the cycle is complete, invert and shake the pan to remove the bread. Place it on a cooling rack to allow it to cool down completely. If you keep the bread too long in the pan, it will become soggy from the bottom and sides.

    Once the bread has cooled down, you can slice it with a serrated bread knife or an electric knife.

    Optionally, if you like to only knead the dough in the bread machine and bake it in the oven, then use the dough cycle to knead the dough and get it through the first rise. Add the raisins when the machine beeps for add-ins.

    Shape the dough into a log of about 8 inches long and place it in a 9 inch by 5 inch loaf pan. Cover it with a food wrap or kitchen towel and allow it to rise for another 45 minutes. Bake for 20 minutes in a preheated oven at 350°F.

    Substitutions

    The best thing about this cinnamon raisin bread recipe is that it is made with only few basic ingredients. But you can still substitute a few ingredients based on what is available.

    • All-purpose flour - instead of bread flour, you can use all-purpose flour and the bread will turn out equally good. I use King Arthur bread machine flour or all-purpose flour and don't find much difference in the results.
    • Yeast - you can use bread machine yeast or instant yeast.
    • Sugar - brown sugar can be used instead of organic cane sugar.

    Variations

    I have made this cinnamon raising bread in the bread machine. The bread machine does all the mixing, kneading, rising, and finally baking the bread.

    Depending on your bread machine, you may have taller loaf and if you prefer more even loaf that fits well in the toaster, you can use the dough cycle and bake the bread in the oven.

    Equipment

    To make this cinnamon raisin bread at home, I have used the Hamilton Beach 2 lb. bread machine. Any other bread machine will work well as all of them have the basic bread cycle. The only thing that may differ is the order of placing the wet and the dry ingredients in the bread pan and the process of adding the raisins as add-ins.

    If you do not have a bread machine, you can also make the dough in the stand mixer and allow it to rise in the instant pot, oven, or at room temperature. Check out this post on how to make bread dough in a stand mixer and proof it in the instant pot.

    I made this bread using a 1.5 lb. setting and medium crust. A light crust setting will work well too.

    Storage

    Homemade cinnamon raisin bread can be stored at room temperature in an air-tight container or in a bread box for 3-4 days. To prevent the bread from drying up, it is best to cut the slices when you want to eat them and not pre-cut them while storing.

    Cinnamon bread can also be frozen for about a month in the freezer. Cut the bread into slices of desired thickness with a serrated knife or an electric knife. You can place parchment paper in between the slices so that they are easy to separate after being frozen.

    When you are ready to eat, take as many slices from the freezer as you need and then toast them in a toaster. It is not recommended to store the bread in the fridge as it tends to lose moisture and dry up.

    Top tip

    • Allow the bread to cool down completely on the wire rack before slicing it.
    • Weigh the flour with a digital food scale to ensure consistent results every time.

    • Place the wet and dry ingredients (except raisins) in the order required by your bread machine.

    Notes

    • Sifting and weighing the flour helps make the bread soft. Sifting is optional, however, weighing the flour gives consistent results.
    • Once the bread is baked, remove it from the container and place it on a rack to cool down. Leaving the bread in the container to cool down can make it moist.
    • To knead the dough in a stand mixer instead of a bread machine
      • Use the same ingredients and follow the post on how to make the dough in a stand mixer.
      • You can proof it in the instant pot or in the oven.
      • After the first rise, punch it down and shape it into a log and follow the instructions above in the 'bake in the oven' section.
