Cinnamon Raisin Loaf
A cozy classic: This sandwich loaf has a soft, golden crumb with juicy plump, sun‑dried raisins and toasted cinnamon.
Flavor notes: Comforting, toasted, spiced, with a playful brightness.
Crumb: Soft and chewy. A caramelized yet soft crust.
Perfect for: cream cheese and jam, french toast, irish whiskey, bread pudding.
Ingredients and sourcing:
Redeemer, a single varietal, hard rent winter variety from Grapewood Farms, a small local mill in Montross, Virginia.
Flame raisins
Korintje Indonesian cinnamon
Why this bread:
Historically I’ve always found raisins to be the icky boy at the party, always interrupting for your attention. So no, I did not grow up with cinnamon raisin bread, and really my love affair began during these just recent snowy days, working the silky dough and letting the warm cozy cinnamon aroma fill up my home.
After tinkering around with this bread for some time, I realized you could build layers of flavor. I’ve toasted some of the Reedemer flour and cinnamon, and soaked the raisins in assam black tea.
About the grains:
Redeemer: A heritage varietal. Redeemer is a Hard Red Winter Wheat that was bred for both flavor and functionality.
It is gently nutty, delicately sweet, and less tannic than modern commercial red wheats. It is prized for its environmental adaptability and thrives around the mid-atlantic and the northeast.
