Ingredients

The following ingredients have 10 Servings
  • 3 cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1½ tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. Yeast
  • 1½ cups luke-warm water
  • 3 tablespoons of brown sugar 
  • 1/2 cup of raisins 
  • 2 tsp cinnamon

Instruction

  • Measure out warm water and add the yeast to the water. Let the yeast sit in the water until it becomes foamy. 
  • Mix the dough: Combine the flour, salt, brown sugar, cinnamon, and raisins in a large bowl. Stir to combine. Pour in water and continue stirring until the dough has formed. I like to use a spatula for this. 
  • The dough will look messy and not smooth and that is completely okay. 
  • Let it Rise: Once combined, cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or set a towel over the bowl;  let sit on the counter overnight.
  • Preheat Dutch Oven: When the dough is done rising and ready to bake, preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Stick a 6-quart enamel coated cast iron Lodge Dutch Oven (or similar) in the oven for about 30 minutes to heat.
  • Shape Dough: Heavily flour clean countertop or surface. Remember this is no-knead!  Dump the dough onto a floured surface and shape into a round ball.
  • After dutch oven has preheated, take the dutch oven out CAREFULLY  with some oven mitts or hot pads. Note handles will be extremely HOT!
  • Place the ball of dough in the dutch oven and cover with lid.
  • Bake at 450 degrees F for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove lid and bake for an additional 15 minutes until done. Bread will be golden in color.
  • Cut into 12 slices, serving size 1 slice.
