Instructions to make Cinnamon Swirl Bread with Raisins:
  1. Combine 1 1/2 cups water, yeast, milk, and 2 cups of flour in a mixing bowl. Set aside to sponge for 15-20 minutes, until risen and bubbly.
  2. Put the raisins in a small bowl and cover them with hot water. Let the raisins plump for at least 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  3. Add 2 tb melted butter, 4 tb white sugar, 1/2 tb cinnmon, salt, and 4 cups of flour to the yeast bowl. Mix until dough starts to clean sides of bowl.
  4. Place dough on flowered surface and knead for 10 minutes. Add only a few tablespoons of flour at a time if dough sticks to surface, being careful not to add too much.
  5. Pat dough into an oval. Sprinkled about half the raisins over the top and fold the dough like a letter. Pat it into an oval again, sprinkle the remaining raisins, and fold it again. Knead the dough by hand for a few minutes to distribute the raisins through the dough.
  6. Put dough into a greased bowl. Cover with a clean dish towel and let rise in a warm place for about 60 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  7. Punch down the dough in the bowl with your fist and cut in half. Place half of dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 1 minute. Repete with second half.
  8. Roll dough out to form two rectangular shapes. Spread 4 tb softened butter on the surface of the rolled out dough.
  9. In a small bowl, mix 3 tb white sugar, 3 tb brown sugar, and 2 tb cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture on top of the buttered dough.
  10. Roll up dough and form into two loafs. Place into 2 buttered bread pans, seam side down. Cover with a clean dish towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
  11. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  12. Bake bread for 30 minutes, or until golden brown, rotating halfway through if needed.
  13. Immediately remove from pans to cool on a rack. Allow to completely cool before slicing.

This recipe makes one loaf and can be frozen. Prepare the dough: Combine raisins and orange juice in a small bowl. Drain raisins and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess moisture.
