Gluten Free Cinnamon Raisin Bread Recipes

GLUTEN-FREE CINNAMON RAISIN BREAD

Steps:

• Whisk together milk and yeast in a small bowl. Allow to stand for five minutes.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine brown rice flour, tapioca starch, brown sugar, xanthan gum, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder. Whisk to combine. Fit the stand mixer with the flat paddle attachment. Add the yeast mixture, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix on medium speed for five minutes. Dough will be thick. It will not form a ball.
• Stop the mixer. Add the raisins. Turn mixer to low speed. Mix until raisins are incorporated.
• Spray an 8-1/2" by 4-1/2" by 2-3/4" loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Spread dough evenly into the pan. Spay a piece of plastic wrap with nonstick cooking spray and place plastic wrap loosely on the pan. Allow dough to double in size. This takes about one hour.
• When dough has doubled in size, preheat oven to 350°F. Remove plastic wrap from the top of the pan.
• Bake until the internal temperature of the bread reaches 210°F, about 45 minutes. (If the crust gets too dark before the internal temperature reaches 210°F, place a piece of foil onto the bread. This prevents the crust from burning.)
• Remove bread from the oven and allow to cool for two minutes. Transfer bread to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
• When cool, slice into pieces with a serrated knife.
• Store bread on the counter for up to three days or freeze sliced bread, wrapped in freezer wrap with waxed paper between each slice, and placed into a freezer container, for up to six weeks.

GLUTEN FREE CINNAMON RAISIN BREAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Oven Directions:If not using my bread mix, whisk these dry ingredients together in a large bowl: GF flours, milk powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. In the large mixing bowl of a stand mixer, stir together the wet ingredients: honey, liquid of choice (club soda/milk etc.), apple cider vinegar, oil, egg or replacer and vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredient mix in with the wet by pouring slowly into the wet bowl while mixing with the paddle attachment. Once incorporated, add the yeast granules and raisins; beat well for 1 - 2 more minutes. Scoop one quarter of the dough into an oiled bread pan (use a dark metal pan if you like a darker crust on your bread; lighter, shiny metal or glass if you like a light crust). Sprinkle cinnamon-sugar mixture across the middle of the dough - try not to sprinkle to the edges of the pan. Cut through the cinnamon-sugar mixture with a knife to distribute the layer deeper into the dough (pictured above). Spread remaining dough on top and smooth with a rubber spatula. Cover with an oiled piece of wax paper or parchment. Set the pan aside for at least 30 minutes in a warm place like an oven warming drawer or an oven preheated to 200º F then turned off. Remove the cover from the raised dough and transfer to a preheated convection oven set to 325º F or a preheated static oven set to 350º F. Bake on the lowest oven rack. Cook for approximately 55 minutes, or until the crust is browning nicely and a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean (internal temperature should reach 205º F). Remove to a cooling rack. When cooled for 15 minutes, gently remove from the loaf pan to finish cooling before slicing. Gluten Free Bread Machine Directions:Baking bread in a breadmaker is simple. There are 3 steps: liquids first; then dry ingredients; then yeast. Read more tips on breadmakers and gluten free breads in my article on using breadmachines. Bring all liquids to room temperature before adding to the machine, if possible. Whisk together the yolks and whites before adding to the bread machine with the other liquids; alternatively, allow the flax seed meal to steep in water for 10 minutes before adding. Whisk together dry ingredients and add on top of liquids in the pan. Make a small well with your finger in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the yeast. Select either the gluten-free bread setting on your machine, or the setting with only one rise cycle and no punch-down (2 lb loaf setting). Close the lid to the breadmaker and let it do the rest! You may want to check on the dough during the mix cycle to make sure the flour around the edges is incorporated. If it has not been mixed well, use a rubber spatula to help the edges and corners of the pan mix more thoroughly. Approximately five minutes prior to the end of the mixing cycle, a buzzer should sound on your machine, signaling that it is time to add any mix-ins like raisins. Sprinkle the raisins into the pan at this time. Each bread machine's cycle is slightly different, but you'll want to add the cinnamon-sugar mixture at the tail end of this add-in cycle. For the T-fal Bread Machine, for example, this cycle is just about 5 minutes long, so you'll add the cinnamon-sugar around 1:41 on the cycle clock (about the 4th out of 5 minutes after the add-in buzzer). The paddle will integrate this mixture into the bread, but the idea is that if it's added at the "last minute," it shouldn't mix it entirely into the bread, but leave a thread of cinnamon-sugar instead. (See the video for exact instructions for how to add cinnamon-sugar to get the best marbled look using a bread machine). Once the bake cycle is complete, test the temperature of the interior of the loaf before removing from the pan with a bread baking thermometer - it should have reached approximately 200-205º F. If it hasn't yet reached that temperature, either add time to your bread machine as another bake cycle of 5-10 minutes, or simply put the pan into a regular oven at 350º F (static), testing the temperature again at five minute intervals.

BEST GLUTEN FREE CINNAMON RAISIN BREAD

Steps:

• Combine the water and sugar in a measuring glass and stir to dissolve the sugar slightly. Add yeast and gently mix together then set aside in a warm area for 5 minutes until frothy.
• Mix the other cup of warm water with the ground flaxseed and stir well. Let sit while the yeast mixture proofs for about 3-5 minutes.
• In the bowl of a mixer, add the gluten-free flour, coconut sugar, cinnamon, salt, and xanthan gum. Mix together until combined.
• When yeast is done proofing, add the eggs, oil, yeast mixture, flaxseed mixture, and molasses to the mixer bowl and turn it on low.
• Scrape down the sides of the bowl and continue to mix on low until it's well combined and there aren't any large lumps.
• Turn mixer to high and let beat for 3 minutes.
• While it's mixing, grease and lightly flour (with brown rice flour) your bread loaf pan.
• Add in the raisins and stir briefly to incorporate.
• Spoon a third of the mixture into the pan and spread as best as you can (you can wet hands and pat it down if needed, but I just used a spatula and it worked fine), keeping one side thicker than the other length-wise if you want more of a swirl effect.
• Sprinkle half of the cinnamon mixture over the bread layer, making sure to leave about ½ inch of dough along the outside. If you bring the cinnamon mixture all the way out, the bread doesn't hold together as well and comes apart in layers.
• Layer more dough and repeat the cinnamon sprinkle, again not all the way to the pan walls.
• Put the last layer of dough over the top and smooth with wet hands or a spatula.
• Cover pan loosely with plastic wrap or a towel and let rise in a warm place for 35 minutes. You don't want the dough to rise above the top of the pan, so keep an eye on it.
• Preheat oven to 375° F while the dough is rising.
• Bake the bread for 40-50 minutes until the top is nicely browned and the inside temperature is 200° F. If the top starts to get too dark to early, you can add a tin-foil tent over the top to help stop the browning.
• Let bread cool for 20 minutes until turning out onto a cooling rack to finish cooling before slicing.
• Enjoy!

GLUTEN- AND DAIRY-FREE CINNAMON RAISIN BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, whisk flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, whisk eggs, coconut milk, oil and vanilla until blended. Add to flour mixture; stir just until moistened. Toss the raisins with remaining flour; fold into batter., Transfer half of the batter to a greased 9x5-in. loaf pan. Combine the cinnamon and remaining sugar. Sprinkle half over batter. Repeat layers. Cut through batter with a knife to swirl., Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 45-50 minutes. Cool in pans 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. If desired, serve with dairy-free margarine.

CINNAMON RAISIN BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9x5 loaf pan with a non-stick baking spray. PRO TIP: Line the bottom with parchment paper and spray the paper for easier removal.
• Add the raisins and vanilla extract to a small bowl. Fill with boiling water with 1/2 inch of water over the top of the raisins. Soak the raisins for 15 minutes, then drain them and set them on a towel to dry.
• In another small bowl, mix together the light brown sugar and cinnamon. Take a spoonful of the brown sugar mixture and stir it together with the raisins. Set aside. The rest of the sugar mixture will be used in the bread.
• In a medium sized bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
• In a large bowl (or bowl of a standing mixer), beat together the sugar and butter until it's light and fluffy.
• Add in the egg and mix again, just until combined.
• Slowly add in the flour mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix just until everything is combined, do not over mix.
• Fold in the raisins.
• Spread half of the batter along the bottom of the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the brown sugar mixture on top of the batter.
• Spoon the remaining batter on top and spread to the edge. Sprinkle the remaining brown sugar mixture all over the top.
• Bake for 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
• Cool for 10 minutes before moving the bread to a cooling rack. Cool for about an hour before icing and cutting.

RAISIN BREAD (GLUTEN-FREE)

Steps:

• BREADMAKER METHOD.
• Sift and combine the all the dry ingredients except egg replacer powder.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the egg replacer powder (or eggs) with about 1/2 a cup of the water, until frothy. Add remaining wet ingredients, withholding about 1/4 - 1/2 cup water, and combine.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix together. Add extra water slowly, around 1 tablespoon at a time, until batter is the correct consistency - thicker than a cake batter, but not as thick as cookie dough. Spoon into the pan.
• Set the breadmaker to the setting recommended by the instructions specific to your model. If there are no such instructions try either the 'Basic' setting or the 'Rapid' setting. If your breadmaker is programmable, set it to skip the second kneading, as this is not necessary for GF breads. Another option, for breadmakers with a 'Bake Only' setting, is use the 'Dough' setting and then the 'Bake Only'.
• Add sultanas when the "add-ins" beep sounds or at the very end of mixing.
• If your your breadmaker does a reasonable job of mixing, it is possible to add the wet ingredients to the pan and than add the combined dry ingredients (or vice-versa, depending on the model). If using this method, about 5 minutes into mixing you will need to check that all the flour has been mixed in thoroughly and, if not, scrape the sides and base and stir with a rubber spatula. At this time check the consistency and add extra water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if necessary. If the mixture is too wet, try adding a little extra flour.
• Again, add sultanas when the "add-ins" beep sounds or at the very end of mixing.
• Remove the bread from the machine as soon as it is cooked and don't leave in the machine during the 'Keep Warm' cycle. Turn out from pan after a few minutes and cool on a wire rack.
• *If your breadmaker has a removable blade, you can also try this :.
• Mix the batter until smooth, mix in sultanas, remove the blade from the pan, place the dough in the pan and cook normally. This way you avoid the big hole in the bottom of the bread and also avoid the second kneading.
• HAND METHOD 1.
• Sift and combine the dry ingredients.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the egg replacer with about 1/2 a cup of the water until frothy. Add remaining wet ingredients (withholding a little water as explained above).
• Add wet ingredients to dry and mix slowly. When combined beat on high until batter is smooth, adding more water slowly if required.
• Add sultanas at the very end of mixing.
• Spoon into a loaf pan. Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm, draught free position to rise for about 1 hour. (If you can't find a warm position, a very low oven can be used.).
• Remove plastic wrap, and bake at 190°C (375°F) for 50-60 minutes. (A skewer placed into the centre of the bread should come out clean.) Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack.
• *If you find the bread is becoming too dark, you can loosely cover it with foil part-way into cooking.
• HAND METHOD 2.
• Dissolve 1 tablespoon of the sugar in 1/2 a cup of the luke warm water. Add the yeast and set aside to proof for 10 minutes.( The mixture should become frothy.).
• Sift and combine the dry ingredients.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the egg replacer with about 1/2 a cup of the water until frothy. Add remaining wet ingredients (withholding a little water as explained above). Add proofed yeast.
• Add wet ingredients to dry and mix slowly. When combined beat on high until batter is smooth, adding more water slowly if required.
• Add sultanas at the very end of mixing.
• Spoon into a loaf pan. Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm, draught free position to rise for about 1 hour. (If you can't find a warm position, a very low oven can be used.).
• Remove plastic wrap, and bake at 190°C (375°F) 50-60 minutes. (A skewer placed into the centre of the bread should come out clean.) Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack.
• *If you find the bread is becoming too brown, you can loosely cover with foil part-way into cooking.
