Add 6 cups of flour to a mixing bowl.

Add 1 cup of white sugar, 1 tablespoon of salt, and baking powder to the flour; mix well.

Add 2 tablespoons of softened butter and incorporate it into the dry ingredients.

Gradually add 2 cups of water, mixing until a dough forms.

Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, then divide it in half.

Let the dough proof for 30-35 minutes until doubled in size.

Punch down the dough to redistribute the yeast.

Roll out the dough into a rectangle.

Mix 1 cup of sugar with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon for the filling.

Spread softened butter over the rolled-out dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture and raisins on top.

Roll the dough tightly to form a log, tucking in the ends.

Let the rolled dough proof for another 30 minutes before baking.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 15 minutes until golden brown.
