Ingredients
  • 2 cups warm water
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • 1 Tbs. yeast
  • ⅓ cup olive oil
  • 2 tsp. koaher salt
  • ⅓ cup gluten flour
  • 5-7 cups of whole red wheat flour
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar
  • 4 tablespoons cinnamon
  • ½ cup raisins (optional)
Preparation Instructions
  1. Combine water, yeast, and honey and let it sit for a few minutes.
  2. Add salt, oil, gluten flour, and the whole wheat flour. Continue to add more flour until the dough pulled away from the bowl, about 10 minutes
  3. Cover bowl and let rise until doubled, about an hour.
  4. After the dough has doubled, punch it down and divide into two portions. Roll out each portion in a long rectangle, no wider than whatever pan you are going to use.
  5. Smear about 3-4 tablespoons soft or melted butter all over the surface of the dough.
  6. Combine the cinnamon and sugar and then sprinkle it all over the top of the buttered dough.
  7. Roll it up jellyroll style just like you would if you were making cinnamon rolls but roll it the short way so it fits in your pan.
  8. Generously smear soft butter all over the inside of your loaf pan and place the roll of dough inside. Cover and allow to rise until doubled, about another 45 minutes - 1 hour.
  9. Preheat oven to 350˚ and place the bread inside. Bake about 35 minutes.
  10. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then remove from the pan and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
