Equipment

  • Loaf Pan – 1 (9x5-inch)
  • Mixing Bowls – 2 (for dry and wet ingredients)
  • Measuring cups and spoons (1 set)
  • Electric Mixer or Stand Mixer – 1 (optional, for mixing dough)
  • Whisk – 1 (for dry ingredients)
  • Pastry Brush – 1 (optional, for brushing with butter)

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups – Gluten-Free Flour Blend all-purpose
  • 1 tablespoon – Active Dry Yeast
  • 1/4 cup – Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon – Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon – Salt
  • 1/2 cup – Warm Milk dairy or dairy-free
  • 2 large – Eggs
  • 1/4 cup – Butter melted, or dairy-free butter
  • 1 cup – Raisins

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Yeast Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and sugar.
    Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Add Wet Ingredients: Add the yeast mixture, eggs, and melted butter to the dry ingredients.
    Mix until a soft dough forms.
  • Incorporate Raisins: Gently fold in the raisins until evenly distributed.
  • Let the Dough Rise: Transfer the dough into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
    Cover it with a kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1–1.5 hours until doubled in size.
  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Bake the Bread: Place the loaf pan in the oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Cool and Serve: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Flour Blends: Use a high-quality, gluten-free all-purpose flour blend for the best texture. Avoid single gluten-free flours like almond flour or rice flour alone as they don’t provide the right structure for bread.
  • Dairy-Free: You can substitute butter with any dairy-free butter and use almond milk or oat milk for a completely dairy-free version.
  • Extra Cinnamon: Feel free to add more cinnamon if you like a stronger spice flavor. A light dusting of cinnamon sugar on top of the loaf before baking also adds a sweet touch.
