WHOLE-WHEAT CINNAMON-RAISIN BREAD

Steps:

• Make the dough.
• Measure out 1 1/4 cups very warm water and check the temperature; it should be 120 degrees F to 130 degrees F. Combine both flours, the dry milk, egg, canola oil, honey, salt, yeast and warm water in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Mix 3 minutes on the lowest setting, then increase to the next highest setting and mix 5 more minutes. The dough should be soft and sticky.
• Let it rise.
• Transfer the dough to a large bowl coated with cooking spray. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature until the dough has nearly doubled in size, about 1 hour, 30 minutes.
• Soak the raisins.
• Dry raisins will rob moisture from the bread, so soak them first in boiling water until plump, about 30 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
• Fold the dough.
• Transfer the dough to a floured work surface. Picture it as a loose square. Lift up one side of the dough and fold about one-third of it across; press down on the dough with spread fingers to remove any air bubbles. Repeat with the remaining 3 sides of the dough.
• Add the filling.
• Mist two 9-by-5-inch loaf pans with cooking spray. Divide the dough in half; roll out each half into an 8-inch square. Brush each square with canola oil, then sprinkle with the cinnamon (it's high in antioxidants!), brown sugar and raisins.
• Form the loaves.
• Roll up each square of dough into a tight cylinder; place seam-side down in the prepared pans. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature until the dough fills the pans and springs back when touched, about 1 hour, 30 minutes.
• Bake the bread.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Brush the loaves with canola oil and bake until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the pans and transfer to a rack to cool completely.

CINNAMON-RAISIN WHOLE WHEAT WAFFLES

Steps:

• Make the spread: beat the cream cheese and heavy cream together in a small bowl with a hand-held mixer; beat in the cinnamon and sugar; cover and refrigerate until needed (keeps for up to 5 days).
• Make the waffles: if your raisins aren't moist and plump, place them in a heatproof bowl and pour boiling water over them; let the raisins steep for a minute, drain, turn out onto a paper towel and pat dry; set aside.
• Preheat waffle iron; if you want to hold the finished waffles until serving, preheat oven to 200°.
• Melt the butter; reserve.
• In a big bowl, whisk the flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until combined; whisk in both the sugars.
• In another bowl, beat together the buttermilk, vanilla, and eggs with a whisk until well mixed.
• Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined; fold in the raisins and melted butter into the batter.
• Lightly butter or spray the grids of your iron.; brush or spray the grids again only if subsequent waffles stick.
• Spoon out ½ to 2/3 cup of batter onto the iron; use a metal spatula or wooden spoon to spread it almost to the edge of the grids.
• Close the lid and bake until browned and set.
• Serve the waffles immediately or keep them, in single layer, on a rack in the preheated oven while you make the rest of the batch.
• Serve topped with Velvet Cream Cheese Spread.

CINNAMON-RAISIN WAFFLES

Steps:

• In a small bowl whisk together the flour, the sugar, the baking powder, and the salt. In a bowl whisk together the egg, 2 tablespoons of the butter, 1/2 cup water, the raisins, and the cinnamon, add the flour mixture, and stir the batter until it is just combined. Heat a waffle iron until it is hot, brush it with the oil, and pour half the batter onto it. Cook the waffle according to the manufacturer's instructions, transfer it to a baking sheet, and keep it warm, uncovered, in a warm oven. Make another waffle with the remaining batter in the same manner. Serve the waffles with the syrup and the additional butter.
