No Knead Cinnamon Raisin Bread
This No Knead Cinnamon Raisin Bread features a slow-rise dough enriched with cinnamon, plump raisins, and chopped walnuts baked in a Dutch oven to develop a golden crust. The dough requires minimal handling, producing bread with a tender crumb and subtle spice that melds well with sweet and nutty additions, suitable for breakfast or snacking.
Ingredients
- 4 ⅓ cups bread flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon instant yeast
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 cups water about 80F, lukewarm
- 1 cup raisins
- ¾ cup walnuts coarsely chopped, or pecans
Instructions
- Stir the flour, salt, yeast, cinnamon, and water together in a large bowl. The dough will be shaggy, but be sure to incorporate all of the flour.
- Fold in the raisins and nuts.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap.
- Let the dough sit at room temperature for at least 8 hours.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured movable surface. I like to use a piece of parchment paper.
- Lightly cover the dough with greased plastic wrap.
- Place a Dutch oven with lid in the oven and preheat to 450F.
- Once the oven reaches 450F, continue to heat the Dutch oven for 30 minutes.
- Carefully take the Dutch oven out, uncover the dough, and turn the dough into the Dutch oven.
- Cover and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the lid and continue to bake for 5 minutes, or until light golden brown.
- Let the bread cool in the pot to room temperature.
Notes
- All-purpose flour can substitute bread flour but yields a slightly less chewy bread.
- Active dry yeast can replace instant yeast in equal amounts.
- Adjust cinnamon to taste; this recipe uses a mild amount.
- Omit nuts and increase raisins by ¼ to ½ cup if preferred.
