  1. 1 Stir together 3 cups flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt, and yeast in a large bowl. Pour in warm water and stir until flour is incorporated and a shaggy, wet dough forms. Stir in raisins until evenly distributed.
  2. 2 Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in a warm, draft-free space or in the oven with the oven light on for 30 minutes.
