First add all the dry ingredients (both flours, sugar, salt, yeast and raisin) into a large mixing bowl. Mix it well until combined.

 

Add 1 ¼ Cup of the water to the dry ingredients. Mix well. Then add the remaining ¼ Cup + 1 Tbsp slowly until the dough can be made into a ball and you do not have any dry bits. Your flour would determine the quantity of water needed.

 

Keep the dough covered with a wet kitchen towel and let it in a warm place for about 10 mins, until it is slightly bubbly. Transfer the dough to a flour dusted surface.

 

Knead it with your hands, by stretching it for about 3 mins. Make it into a flat rectangle. Make sure that the width of the rectangle is not large than your bread loaf pan. Sprinkle the cinnamon powder evenly on top of the dough. Optionally sprinkle a little more raisins.

 

Roll the dough back to form a log. Transfer the log to a greased loaf pan.

 

Cover it with a damp kitchen towel and leave it to rise in a warm place for about 40 mins. By now the dough would have doubled in size. Brush the top with a little water. Bake the bread in a 425 F oven for about 25 - 30 mins until the top turns golden brown. Remove from the oven and optionally brush the top with oil.

 

Let the bread cool down completely before slicing with a sharp knife. Enjoy.
