Apple Cinnamon Raisin Bread

This is a slightly sweet bread with a marvelous subtle flavor. I got the recipe from a fellow teacher years ago.

Combine 1 1 / 2 c.

Flour , yeast , sugar , salt and cinnamon.

Mix well.

Heat apple juice , oil and water to 120-130 degrees f.

Add to flour mixture.

Blend at low speed until moistened , then beat 3 minutes at medium speed.

Gradually stir in remaining flour and raisins to make a firm dough.

Knead until smooth and elastic , about 5 minutes.

Place in a greased bowl , turning to grease top.

Cover and let rise until light and doubled , about 1 hour.

Punch down dough.

On lightly floured surface , roll or pat to a 14x7 inch rectangle.

Starting with the shorter side , roll up tightly , pressing dough into roll with each turn.

Pinch edges and ends to seal.

Place in greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.

Cover and let rise until light and doubled , about 1 hour.

Bake at 375 for 35-40 minutes , until golden brown and loaf sounds hollow when tapped.

Remove from pan and cool on rack.
