To make this delicious cinnamon-raisin wheat bread, start by gathering your ingredients.
Begin by dissolving the yeast in the warm water, allowing it to sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, salt, and cinnamon. Add the yeast mixture, honey, and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
After that, place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot for about an hour, or until it doubles in size. Once risen, gently punch down the dough and knead in the raisins. Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased loaf pan. Cover it again and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, or until it sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your homemade cinnamon raisin wheat bread as a delightful breakfast option or a tasty snack, perfect on its own or toasted with a bit of butter!
