Cinnamon Raisin Bread

Mix and proof 5 minutes:
1 cup warm water
2 Tbs sugar, divided
1 pkg yeast (2 1/4 tsp)

In the meantime, mix together:

1 Tbsp canola oil
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1-1 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup raisins and chopped walnuts or whatever you have on hand.
1 tsp cinnamon
(I like to experiment with different dried fruits and nuts. I have made this using 2 tbs of peanut butter instead of oil and it was great)

Add proofed yeast mixture to dry ingredients. Let rise 40 minutes. Punch down and place in a greased loaf pan to proof an additional 30 minutes. Bake 350 oven for 30 minutes. Wonderful toasted and served plain or w/butter or honey butter.
