Cinnamon Raisin Walnut No-Knead Bread
Description
The Cinnamon Raisin Walnut No-Knead Bread relies on a long fermentation of a simple mixture of all-purpose flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt, instant yeast, water, walnuts, and golden raisins. After mixing, the dough rests covered for 12 to 18 hours, allowing slow yeast activity to develop complex aromas and a bubbly texture. After shaping the dough into a ball, it rises another hour before baking.
Preheating a large covered Dutch oven helps form steam around the dough, which promotes a crisp and golden crust while maintaining a soft interior. The cinnamon and raisins provide a sweet, aromatic contrast to the mildly nutty walnuts. The texture balances a tender crumb with the crunch of nuts and chewiness of raisins.
This bread is suitable for breakfast or snacks and pairs well with butter or mild cheese. It keeps for up to three days wrapped at room temperature. For longer storage, slicing and freezing is recommended, with slices toasted directly from the freezer for best texture.
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour plus more for dusting, unbleached, 370-390 grams
- 2 teaspoons salt 12 g
- 3 tablespoons sugar 43 grams
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon 8 grams
- ½ teaspoon instant yeast 3 grams
- 1 ½ cups water 355 ml, luke-warm
- 1 walnuts scant cup
- 1 golden raisins regular raisins are fine, scant cup
Notes
- Allow the dough to rise for at least 16 hours, or up to 18 hours, for proper fermentation and flavor development.
- Store finished bread wrapped tightly at room temperature for up to three days to maintain freshness.
- For longer storage, slice the bread and freeze in a zip-top bag; slices can be toasted straight from the freezer.
