Directions
-
In a small bowl, toss the raisins with 1 tablespoon of flour until lightly coated to prevent them from sinking. Set aside.
-
In the bowl of a stand mixer or bread machine pan, combine the buttermilk, sugar, canola oil, salt, cinnamon, whole wheat flour, bread flour, vital gluten, and yeast.
-
If using a stand mixer, attach the dough hook and mix on low speed until combined, then increase to medium speed and knead for 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. If using a bread machine, select the "Dough" setting.
-
About 3 minutes before the kneading cycle ends (or after 5 minutes of kneading in the stand mixer), add the floured raisins to the dough. Knead briefly to incorporate.
-
The dough should be soft but not sticky. If it appears too dry, add water 1 tablespoon at a time. If too sticky, add flour 1 tablespoon at a time.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a loaf. Place it into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
-
Cover the pan with a damp cloth and let the dough rise in a warm place for 45-60 minutes, or until it rises about 1 inch above the rim of the pan.
-
Preheat your oven to 350F (175C).
-
Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 190F (88C).
-
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
