How can you go wrong with too much cinnamon? I found (for the first time!) cinnamon baking chips at my local bulk store and couldn't wait to try them out... and this 12-grain bread made rich and sweet with coconut milk was the perfect carrier for a double-cinnamon swirl. Ingredients:
1/3 cup raisins |
1/4 cup spiced rum |
1 tbsp water |
1 cup flour |
1 cup whole wheat bread flour |
1 cup 12-grain flour |
1/4 cup mashed potato flakes |
2 tbsp ground flaxseed |
1 tbsp brown sugar |
2 1/2 tsp instant yeast |
1 1/4 cup coconut milk |
1 tsp vanilla |
1 egg, beaten |
1 tbsp canola oil |
1 tsp salt |
filling |
2 tbsp brown sugar |
1/2 tbsp cinnamon |
2 tsp cornstarch |
1 egg, beaten |
3 tbsp cinnamon chips |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl combine raisine, rum and water. Let stand 1-2 hours to plump and soften.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together flours, potato flakes, flaxseed, sugar and yeast.
3. Add coconut milk and egg, mix with the dough hook for 7 minutes.
4. Add oil and salt. Mix 7 minutes longer.
5. Cover bowl and let rest 10 minutes.
6. Drain the raisins and by hand, knead them into the dough to evenly disperse them without breaking them up. See Photo
7. Place back into the bowl, cover and allow to rest 1 hour.
8. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine brown sugar, cinnamon and cornstarch. Set aside.
9. When dough has rested, roll out into a rectangle with the short ends the length of the loaf pan.
10. Brush dough with half the beaten egg and evenly press the sugar/cinnamon mixture into it, leaving a 1 space on one short end.
11. Sprinkle the cinnamon chips over the far 2/3 of the dough (this helps prevent them leaking through and sticking to the pan!) See Photo
12. Roll up dough, pinching the un-spiced end to seal filling.
13. Place in a greased loaf pan.
14. Cover and allow to rise 1 hour, until almost doubled.
15. Bake at 350°F for about 45 minutes, tenting the loaf lightly with aluminum foil for the final 15 minutes.
