A few days ago I did a recipe of no knead bread, and mentioned that I wanted to try other flavors. This time, I made more of the dough and added extra yumminess to get cinnamon craisin bread. I wish there were pictures...
But I updated my phone without backing them up. Yes, I am one of those. Luckily my mom saved the day, as usual, and is emailing me one as I speak. Thank God I send her pictures every five seconds.
-3 C all purpose flour
-1 1/4 tsp salt
-1/4 tsp yeast (yea I know, you have to eyeball it from 1/4)
-1.5 c lukewarm water (you may need a tad more depending on how you measure your flour)
-Cinnamon and a cinnamon/sugar mix
-brown sugar
-handful of craisins
Mix the first sections of ingredients together in a bowl and cover overnight to rise. I let mine rise about 18 hours sitting in my gas oven, and it seems to rise best in these circumstances. When I was ready to put the yummies in it, I floured my counter and turned the bread out on it. Once it was out, I put more flour on the top, turned it in on itself a few times, and smooshed it out (in lieu of rolling it). I mooshed it out as thin as I could, and then covered the top with craisins. I poked them into the dough and then covered the top with a layer of cinnamon sugar mix, a thin layer of cinnamon, and a nice coating of brown sugar.
After this I rolled it into a log and tucked the ends under. I plopped it in to a lightly greased Oven Lovin' pan and put it back in the oven to sit a bit (about 2 hours) and rise again.
Bake it at 450 for about 30 minutes or so. Depending on what you use it may need to go about 5 minutes longer. My pan sides usually come up much higher than my dough, and I feel like this cooks it faster. It will get a nice golden brown and you know it is ready.
It is DELICIOUS!
And my mom approves.
