Ingredients

  • whole wheat flour

    $0.16

    1 c
  • all-purpose flour

    $0.50

    2 ¼ c
  • brown sugar

    $0.04

    2 tbsp
  • salt

    $0.05

    1 ¼ tsp
  • instant or bread machine yeast

    $0.20

    ¾ tbsp
  • cinnamon

    $0.15

    1 tbsp
  • ground ginger

    dry, $0.05

    1 tsp
  • ground cloves

    $0.05

    ½ tsp
  • raisins

    $0.31

    ½ c
  • warm water

    approx 1 1/2 cups , $0.00

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl combine the dry ingredients: flour, brown sugar, salt, yeast, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and raisins. Stir until evenly combined.

  2. 2

    Starting with one cup, add warm water until the dough forms one cohesive ball and no dry flour is left on the bottom of the bowl (see photos below). This will be anywhere between 1.25 to 1.75 cups of water, depending on the moisture level of your flour. Having the dough be a little too wet is better than it being a little too dry. Loosely cover the bowl and let stand at room temperature for two hours.

  3. 3

    After two hours the dough should be light and fluffy (see photos below). Sprinkle lightly with flour and remove the dough from the bowl. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and gently knead a few times to make the texture of the dough even. Shape the dough into a log the same length as your bread pan. Place the loaf in a bread pan coated with non-stick spray. Loosely cover with a moist towel and let rise until double (about 1-1.5 hours depending on the temperature in your kitchen).

  4. 4

    Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Lightly brush the top of the bread with water. Cook the loaf in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until it is a deep golden brown on top. After baking, remove it from the bread pan and allow it to completely cool on a wire rack before slicing. Enjoy!

About this Recipe

Imagine the comforting aroma of warm spices and sweet raisins filling your kitchen—that's the promise of this inviting Raisin Spice Bread. Perfect for a cozy morning or a delightful afternoon snack, this homemade loaf elevates simple moments into something truly special.

This recipe expertly blends the hearty character of whole wheat flour with the tender crumb of all-purpose flour, creating a loaf that's both satisfying and delightfully soft. The careful balance of warm spices—cinnamon, ginger, and cloves—infused with sweet raisins, elevates this simple bread into something truly special that you'll be eager to share.

What you can expect is a fragrant, slightly sweet bread with a tender, wholesome crumb. Each slice offers bursts of juicy raisins and a gentle warmth from the cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. It's the kind of bread that begs to be toasted, its edges crisped, or simply enjoyed slathered with your favorite spread. This classic comfort food is a timeless choice for any home cook.

For customization, feel free to adjust the spice levels to your preference, perhaps adding a touch more cinnamon or ginger for a bolder flavor. You can also experiment with different types of raisins, like golden raisins, or even swap a small portion of the raisins for other dried fruits such as chopped dried cranberries, if you're looking for a slight variation.

This Raisin Spice Bread is ideal for weekend brunches, a comforting breakfast with your morning coffee, or simply as a satisfying snack. It shines brightest when served as cinnamon toast, or with a generous smear of creamy peanut butter for an extra comforting treat.
