In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the water and yeast. Add the sugar, salt, butter, eggs, vanilla, dry milk powder, potato flakes, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 3 cups of the flour. Mix together thoroughly to make a soft mass of dough. Let rest for a few minutes, then turn onto a floured board. Add the remaining flour while kneading the dough for about 3 minutes. Cover and let rise for 30 to 45 minutes. Gently punch down.

* On a floured surface, roll the dough to a 10" x 12" rectangle. Brush the milk on the rolled out dough. Sprinkle with the cinnamon, sugar and raisins. Roll up the dough, jelly roll style. Place the roll of dough in a lightly greased 9" x 5" loaf pan, seam side down. Cover lightly with a pastry cloth or plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 30 to 45 minutes or until the dough rises over the top of the pan. Brush the top of the loaf with melted butter. Bake in a preheated oven at 350º for 35 to 45 minutes or until the crust is lightly browned. After baking, remove the loaf from the pan and place it on a wire rack to cool.
