Incorporate eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and lemon zest into the dough.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 8-10 minutes.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Punch down the risen dough and fold in raisins and ground cinnamon.

Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased baking pan.

Cover and let rise again until puffy, about 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Brush the top of the loaf with egg wash for a golden finish.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30-35 minutes.

Cool on a wire rack before slicing.
