  • 32 Servings
  • Prep: 25 min. + rising Bake: 45 min.

Ingredients

  • 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
  • 2 cups warm water (110° to 115°)
  • 1 cup sugar, divided
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 3 teaspoons salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 6 to 6-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup raisins
  • Additional canola oil
  • 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Directions

  • In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add 1/2 cup sugar, oil, salt, eggs and 4 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
  • Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place or until doubled, about 1 hour.
  • Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Knead 1/2 cup raisins into each; roll each portion into a 15-in. x 9-in. rectangle. Brush with additional oil. Combine cinnamon and remaining sugar; sprinkle to within 1/2 in. of edges.
  • Tightly roll up, jelly-roll style, starting with a short side; pinch seam to seal. Place, seam side down, in two greased 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  • Brush with oil. Bake at 375° for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Yield: 2 loaves (16 slices each).

  3. Kathleen, the strawberries and raisin bread would be high on my list of favorites, and your pictures of them are wonderful. Mr. Cuisine's bread definitely looks tasty. Your corn looks delicious, and my husband would definitely have it as one of his favorites.

  9. Are you telling me that he cooks too? I'm coming to live with y'all! My mouth is watering - first the pizza got me salivating; then the strawberries; and by the time I got to the buttered corn on the cob, the saliva was on my keyboard! Delicious post! Thanks for linking some of my favorite foods to Favorite Things. laurie

  20. I can't wait to bite into, freshly buttered and peppered corn on the cob but sadly that will mean that summer is almost over and I can't think about that now!

    I wish I had a Mr. Cuisine...I only have a Mr. Clean Up afterward ;)

  21. Wonderful! I am ready to pull up a bench and join you.

  22. Love your favs, Kathleen. I can't wait to share some of my favorite things next week. I really could go wild with stencils.

    Now you've got me thinking about fresh corn on the cob.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I could just link to your post--those are my favorite things as well. My 5', 90 pound mother could eat six ears of corn (slathered in butter) at a sitting. She said you had to have the pot boiling before you picked the corn! Alas, I did not inherit her slim gene.

    It is pouring rain still. I think we may need an ark! This time, I hope flies, roaches and mice get left behind!

    Best,
    Bonnie

  31. Aaaand my keyboard shorts out from all the drooling I'm doing.

    I adore fresh corn, as does my husband. That's one thing he's definitely looking forward to, especially since our move to NJ!

    Strawberries? OMG. All I have to say.
