Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1-1/2 cups warm milk (110u00b0 to 115u00b0); 1 cup mashed potatoes (without added milk and butter); 1/2 cup butter, melted; 1/4 cup sugar; 2 teaspoons salt; 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast; 1/2 cup warm water (110u00b0 to 115u00b0); 6-1/2 to 7 cups all-purpose flour; 1-1/2 cups raisins; 1/2 cup sugar; 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon; 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Servings: persons

1-1/2 cups warm milk (110u00b0 to 115u00b0)
1 cup mashed potatoes (without added milk and butter)
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons salt
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (110u00b0 to 115u00b0)
6-1/2 to 7 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 cups raisins
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter, melted

1
In a large bowl, combine the milk, potatoes, butter, sugar and salt. In a bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add potato mixture and 2 cups flour; beat until smooth. Fold in raisins. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
2
Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Roll each portion into a 16x8-in. rectangle. Combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over rectangles to within 1/2 in. of edges. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a short side; pinch seam to seal and tuck ends under.
3
Place seam side down in two greased 9x5-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes or until doubled. Brush with butter. Bake at 350u00b0 for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
