I've already made two batches of this bread. Each loaf lasts, maybe a day or two. My kids, husband, the children I babysit, friends who stop by, and myself love this bread! It is so good with toasted with butter or spread with honey and almond butter. I have adjusted the recipe a bit. I use a mix of freshly ground flours (Prairie Gold, hard red, aramanthe, quinoa and oat), plus I use two cups of raisins and up the cinnamon sugar mixture by 1/3. I also use sucanat instead of sugar. I have to take half the recipe out of my kitchen aid mixer before the kneading process begins. I knead half in the micer for 6 minutes, than take that out and do the other half. It makes three nice size loafs. I love this recipe and will be making it often.

This recipe was awesome. I've never had cinnamon bread taste so good. Even with the mistakes I made this recipe came out great.

This is the best cinnamon raisin bread. I do the dough in my bread machine---but don't add the raisins until it's rolled out and I'm adding the cinnamon/sugar mixture. That way, there is a nice ribbon of raisins in the swirl part. YUM!

I can't imagine bread any better than this!! It is light and fluffy and so yummy. The only thing I would change is a little more salt. You won't be sorry trying this recipe!! Thanks for sharing it with us!! Hmmm...I'll bet it would be good as cinnamon rolls too....

Really good if you up the salt, raisins and cinnamon. It turned out great when I upped the flavors a bit. Nice and dense but not like a boulder. A few tips. Cut the edges of the dough when you roll it so it's a perfect rectangle otherwise it's a strange blob shape that makes it hard to roll. Go easy on the milk or you'll get a big oozy mess. I found it a bit hard to "tuck the edges in" so I just pulled the top and bottom layers of the bread together and pinched. wasn't that effective though. Oh well, more to do with my skills than the recipe!

I made this recipe with 3 cups of raisins and 5 Ts of cinnamon- it was absolutely delicious.....dangerously delicious...lol

Easy recipe, very tasty. I tried substituting wheat germ for 1/3 of the flour and adding more sugar to the swirl. Came out great, but beware because it does make it a heavier and the loaf did not rise as much as an all-purpose flour would. Also, a tip for the raisins: soak the raisins in hot water for at least 10 mins prior to adding to the dough. You'll end up with raisins that plump up and are very juicy and moist. This might help with the raisin issue that the other reviews seem to be discussing.

WE LOVED IT! IT WAS SORT OF A CHALLENGE CONSIDERING IT WAS ONE OF MY FIRST TIMES USING YEAST BUT I GOT ER DONE! =].. MADE A LOT OF BREAD. MY MOMS WORK LOVED IT TOO! I WILL MAKE AGAIN! THANK YOU! =]

Made this for the first time today. Came out PERFECT. And it is delicious. This is great with tuna on it...the flavor combo is amazing. Use as a sandwich bread or a breakfast bread. Freeze it. Eat it. Love it.

Flavor was fantastic but found it to be a bit dry and the crust got a little hard. I will definitely make again soon but will play with the recipe a bit so it is more moist.

Great recipe, easy to follow and tastes wonderful! Will make again!

This is the best bread we ever ate.Daughter and daughter in law fought over loaf. So had to make more so they could have 1 of their own.This is diff. a keeper. ty

This is excellent cinnamon raisin bread. I've never made any, and I wanted a swirled bread, so I tried this! I made the dough in my bread machine, putting the raisins in at the fruit/nut beep, then continued as the recipe states. Bf and I both love it. I forgot to grease the top of the loaves or brush with melted butter, but it was still delicious. Very pretty as well! Thanks for sharing.

This was delicious!! I think my yeast was not very good, or that I was just impatient because my bread did not bake up as high as I had hoped, but it tastes great. Made it in 2 tube pans instead of loaves. I added more raisins and chopped walnuts to the swirl before rolling up to put in the pans, next time I will double the cinnamon and sugar called for because my swirl came out very faint after baking. I made two with the idea of taking one to work, but now I don't think I can pry the second one from my BF's hands!

Very Yummy!!! I did not use raisins because I didn't have any. Mine only baked for about 30 minutes. Next time I may take it out about 5 minutes earlier since the bread was a little bit dry. My 16 month and 4 year love it. They eat it with Breakfast and as a bed time snack. It made 3 wonderful loaves. I will definetly be making this once or twice a month.

Excellent! I cut the recipe into 1/3 for one loaf and made the dough in my bread machine. I put raisins in 1/2 for my husband and no raisins in the other half for my picky son. I just put the raisins on top of the cinnamon and sugar and rolled up the dough tightly. Between the three of us we just about devoured the whole loaf in one night. Can't wait to make it again. It was incredibly easy using the dough cylcle in the bread machine.

This bread was so good! I followed the recipe to a "T" and it was perfect. I made 2 loaves of the bread and used the rest for cinnamon rolls. The 2 loaves of bread were gone before the end of the day, the family loved it. Definately a keeper!!!!!
