Instructions

1. Butter a 9x5-inch (23 x 12.5 cm) loaf pan and line it with parchment. Set aside.
2. Heat the water, milk, butter and raisins in a small pan over medium heat, or in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave, until the butter melts and the liquid starts to simmer. Cover and let cool to lukewarm, about 20 minutes, so the raisins plump up.
3. Mix the flour, yeast and salt in a stand mixer bowl fitted with a dough hook.
4. Whisk the egg into the cooled liquid, add it to the dry ingredients and mix on medium-low speed for about 8 minutes.
5. Shape the dough into a smooth ball, place it in an oiled bowl and turn to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 60 to 90 minutes, until doubled.
6. Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 9x18-inch (23 x 46 cm) rectangle.
7. Mix the sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle evenly over the dough.
8. Roll up the dough from a long side, place it seam side down in the prepared pan, cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, 45 to 60 minutes.
9. Towards the end of this rise, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
10. Brush the loaf gently with egg wash and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until golden brown.
11. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
