Ingredients
Dough:
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp instant yeast
1/2 cup raisins
1 1/4 cups warm water (about 110°F/45°C)
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Cinnamon Swirl:
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Mix the Dough:
- Combine flour, sugar, salt, yeast, raisins, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
- Gradually add warm water, stirring to form a shaggy dough. Cover and let rest at room temperature for 12-18 hours until bubbly and doubled in size.
- Prepare for Baking:
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly over the dough.
- Gently fold the dough a few times to distribute the cinnamon swirl.
- Shape the Dough:
- Form into a round loaf, place on parchment paper, and cover. Let rest for 30-45 minutes while preheating the oven to 450°F (230°C) with a Dutch oven inside.
- Bake the Bread:
- Transfer the dough (on parchment) into the hot Dutch oven. Cover and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the lid and bake for another 10-15 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
- Cool and Serve:
- Remove from the Dutch oven and cool on a wire rack before slicing.

Substitute raisins with other dried fruits like cranberries or chopped dates for variety.
Add nuts for texture, or a drizzle of icing for a sweeter loaf.
