For best results, use a thermometer to ensure the milk is at the correct temperature for activating the yeast. If you don't have a warm place to let the dough rise, you can place it in a cold oven with the oven light on. Feel free to substitute other dried fruits for the raisins, such as cranberries or chopped dates. Store the baked bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large bowl, dissolve the granulated sugar in the warm milk. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let stand for 5 minutes until foamy. (5 minutes)
02
StepGrease a 9x13 inch baking pan. Whisk the beaten eggs into the yeast mixture. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth batter forms. Stir in the raisins. (10 minutes)
03
StepSpread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Brush the top generously with the melted butter. Cover loosely and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Be careful not to over-proof the dough; it should not overflow the pan. (60 minutes)
04
StepPreheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). While the dough is rising, prepare the glaze by whisking together the confectioners' sugar, 1 tablespoon of milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Add more milk, 1/2 teaspoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency. (5 minutes)
05
StepBake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (30 minutes)
06
StepRemove from the oven and let cool slightly in the pan before drizzling with the sugar glaze. Cool completely before slicing and serving. (30 minutes)
