Combine all of the dough ingredients, and knead them with the dough hook attachment on your mixer for five minutes. Dough will still be sticky. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and set it aside to rise for 1 1/2 hours. It will expand, but not a huge amount.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, divide it in half. Take one of the halves and roll out on a pastry board dusted with some flour. Roll into a long rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. The shorter side should be 9 inches long to fit a 9 x 7 inch loaf pan.
Brush beaten egg across surface of rectangle. Mix together 1/3 cup sugar and 2 tsp cinnamon in a bowl. Sprinkle across entire surface of bread. Sprinkle 1/2 cup raisins across surface. Line two 9 x 7 loaf pans with parchment paper or grease with oil. Then roll up the rectangle, so that you form a 9 inch long log. Place into loaf pan that is greased or lined with parchment paper. Repeat with remaining dough half. Cover both pans with a plastic wrap, for and let rest for about 90 minutes until bread is puffy, though not quite double in size.
Bake the bread in a preheated 350°F oven for 30 minutes until top turns golden brown and knife inserted comes out clean.
