Instructions

Dough Preparation: In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, granulated sugar, yeast, and salt. Add warm milk, melted butter, and egg. Mix until smooth. Gradually stir in remaining flour until a soft dough forms.
Kneading and Rising: Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until elastic. Transfer to a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Filling and Shaping: Roll the dough into a rectangle. Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Sprinkle over dough with raisins. Roll dough tightly into a log and place in a loaf pan.
Final Rise and Baking: Let dough rise until puffy, then brush with melted butter. Bake at 350°F for 35–40 minutes until golden brown. Cool before slicing.

Notes

You can soak the raisins in warm water or orange juice for 10 minutes before using to make them extra plump.
This bread is delicious toasted with butter or used for French toast.
