Cinnamon-Swirl Raisin Bread

DOUGH

1/4 cup Warm Water (110øF)
1 pinch Sugar
1 package Active Dry Yeast
3 tbsp Sugar
3 tbsp Unsalted Butter, cut up
1 1/2 tsp Salt
2 cup Warm Milk (110øF)
3 cup Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
1/2 cup Dark Raisins
1/2 cup Golden Raisins
4 cup Unbleached All-Purpose Flour

FILLING

1/2 cup Sugar
1 tbsp Ground Cinnamon


Dough: Butter 2 9x5x3" loaf pans. Butter a 4 quart bowl. In a small
bowl, combine warm water and pinch sugar. Sprinkle yeast over water
mixture. Let stand until yeast dissolves and bubbles. While yeast is
dissolving, in a large miging bowl combine 3 tb sugar, butter and
salt. Pour in warm milk. Stir until butter almost melts.

Stir in 3 cups flour and dissolved yeast. Beat on high speed for 3
minutes. Stir raisins into batter. Stir in ehough of remaining flour
with a wooden spoon until dough forms a ball. Turn dough out onto a
well-floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 8-10
minutes, adding enough of remaining flour to keep dough from
sticking. Place dough in buttered bowl, turning once to butter
surface. Cover and let rise in a warm place until double, about 1 1/4
to 1 1/2 hours. Punch dough down. Turn out on a floured board. Divide
dough in half. Cover and let rest 10 minutes.

Filling: While dough rests, in a small bowl combine 1/2 cup sugar and
cinnamon. Mix well and set aside.

Assembly: Roll half dough to a 12x8" rectangle. Sprinkle with hlaf of
cinnamon filling. Press filling into dough as much as possible. Roll
up tightly, jelly-roll fashion, starting at the short side. Pinch
dough together at seam. Pinch ends to seal and fold under loaf.
Arrange seam-side down in loaf pan. Repeat with remaining dough.

Cover and let rise in a warm place until double, about 45 minutes to
an hour. Preheat oven to 375øF. Bake at 375øF for 40-45 minutes,
tenting loosely with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking time,
if necessary to prevent overbrowning. Remove loaves from oven. Remove
from pans. Coll loaves on racks.

Dieting tips

If you really want to regain your youthful figure and enhance your overall well-being, then you really should decide on a carefully planned healthy-minded meal plan. If possible, this should include five helpings of fruit and vegetables daily and also incorporate the right combination of carbohydrate, fat, and proteins.

When devising a daily routine, you have to make efforts to cut down your intake of fats, refined carbohydrates and salt.

When chosing foods for dieting, people frequently look at department store and well known foods labelled 'low-fat'. To do this is most certainly an error, since a food item might be reduced in fat content, but whilst still remaining much too high in carbohydrates.

One useful tip is to drink plenty of water. Every now and then in the course of a normal morning, you think that you are a little peckish when in reality you just want a restorative glass of water or orange juice. The feelings of being thirsty and being hungry are quite similar, albeit one of them leads to weight gain and the alternative does not.

As an alternative to paying too much attention to the many unhealthy foods you should ban from your meal plan, concentrate on the nutritionally sound foods that you can bring into your daily routine. If you are able to insert a few healthy grains and vegetables into your meal plan, you'll soon find that you feel full and have a significantl;y lower likelihood of falling prey to those damaging between meals sweets and chocolates.
