Ingredients
1/2 8-g pkg quick-rise instant yeast, about 1 1/4 tsp
1 tbsp granulated sugar or honey
1 1/2 cups warm milk, about 110F
3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp salt
1 cup raisins
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
3 tbsp unsalted butter
1 egg
Instructions
STIR yeast with 1 tbsp sugar and warm milk in the bowl of an electric stand mixer. Set aside until slightly frothy, about 10 min. Combine flour with salt in a medium bowl. Soak raisins in hot tap water in a small bowl. Let stand for 10 min, then drain well. Stir remaining 1/3 cup sugar with cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.

Add raisins and butter and knead on medium-low for 1 min. Increase speed to medium and knead 4 more min. (Stand mixer may move around the counter.) Remove hook. Dust dough with a little more flour and roll into a 9 x 12-in. rectangle. Beat egg and brush over surface of rectangle. Generously sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Roll up rectangle into a log, starting from a short edge. Place log, seam-side down, in a greased 4 1/2 x 8 1/2-in. metal loaf pan.
