Ingredients

  • 2/3 Cup Warm water(about 110 degrees)
  • 4 1/2 teaspoons Active dry yeast(2 pkgs)
  • 1/3 Cup Organic cane sugar
  • 1 Cup Warm Non-dairy milk, I used oat milk(110 degrees F)
  • 1/2 Cup Applesauce
  • 1/3 Cup Vegan butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 2/3 Cup Raisins, regular or golden
  • 5 1/3 Cup All purpose flour

For The Cinnamon Swirl

  • 2 Tablespoons Non dairy milk
  • 1/3 Cup Organic cane sugar
  • 1/4 Cup Brown sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons Cinnamon
  • 2 Tablespoons Vegan butter, melted

Instructions

  • Add the warm water to the bowl of a stand mixer.
  • Pour the yeast into the water and then sprinkle the sugar over the yeast.
  • Let the yeast sit and bloom for about 5 minutes. The mixture should get very bubbly and frothy.
  • Now pour in the warm milk(I like to heat mine in the microwave, then check it with a thermometer).
  • Then pour in the applesauce, vegan butter, salt and raisins. Begin to mix all of this together with the dough hook for the stand mixer.
  • While the hook is going, start adding the flour, about 1/2 a cup at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Continue adding flour until it has all been added. Then let the dough hook knead the dough until it comes together and forms a smooth ball.
  • Let the dough hook knead the dough ball for another 2 minutes.
  • Remove the dough from the bowl, spray the bowl with non-stick spray and return the dough to the bowl.
  • Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise in a warm, dry place for about 1 hour or doubled in size.
  • Turn the dough out onto a large floured surface. Roll the dough out so it is a large rectangle about 1/2 an inch thick.
  • Brush the whole rectangle with the non-dairy milk for the center swirl.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the cane sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon and melted butter. Making a paste.
  • Now evenly spread the cinnamon paste over the entire rectangle of dough.
  • Roll the long side of the dough up into a long roll of dough.(see video for visuals).
  • Cut the long roll in half, this will make 2 loaves.
  • Spray 2 9x5 inch loaf pans with non-stick spray and put the loaves into the pans.
  • Cover the pans with a kitchen towel and let rise again for 20-30 minutes.
  • While the loaves rise, preheat the oven to 350 degrees(F).
  • Once the loaves have risen a bit again, bake at 45-55 minutes or until the bread is golden brown.
  • Let cool, then slice and enjoy!
