This cinnamon raisin bread is fantastic!!! However, I cut down a bit on the sugar and added some brown sugar as well. Simply delicious. This recipe is definitely a keeper!!

Hands down the best bread I've ever made! I wanted to use my bread machine so I made 1/3 of the recipe. Here is the conversion: 1/2 c. milk, 1/3 c. water, 1-1/2 t. bread machine yeast, 1 egg, 3 T. sugar, 1/4 t. salt, 3 T. butter or margarine, 1/2 c. raisins, 2-1/2 c. + 1/8 c. flour, 2 t. milk, 1/4 c. sugar, 2 t. cinnamon, 2 t. butter. Disregard dissolving the yeast/waiting 10 minutes. Add the ingredients according to your bread machine mfr. instructions. Use the dough setting, adding the raisins when 5 minutes remain in the kneading process. At the end of the cycle, proceed with step 4, making 1 loaf. Bake 30-45 minutes. Enjoy! Update: I made this again and substituted 1/3 c. oats for 1/3 c. flour and packed brown sugar instead of white sugar. I also added 1/2 t. cinnamon along with the salt. Last of all, I made the original recipe of the cinnamon sugar mixture and sprinkled this very generously over the rolled out dough. I saved the remaining cinnamon sugar for another use.

I made this for The Hubby lastnight. He is addicted to Raisin Bread and I was really growing tired of having to buy 3-4 loaves a week. This recipe is spot on, in fact I believe Hubb's exact words were "oh my this is good stuff". I will definitely be using this recipe, probably on a weekly basis. In fact Im currently trying a different version of the recipe and making dinner rolls out of the dough.

This was my very first bread recipe--or ever using yeast. I was so nervous but the loaves turned out great! My dad's birthday is coming up and I wanted to surprise him by baking some bread that resembled his favorite bakery's bread that closed down. I froze 2 loaves and baked the other one. I just had to try it to make sure it turned out okay--and it was fantastic! So moist and the top was nice and crunchy. With the cinnamon mixture I combined 1/2 stick melted butter, 3 tablespoons cinnamon, and 1 cup of brown sugar, and raisins. I sprinkled that on top and the brown sugar and butter really made the bread moist. SO GOOD! I ate half a loaf last night! TRY THIS RECIPE!

Just had to write my first review after years of using this website. GREAT bread. Used my bread machine for about 6-10 minutes of kneading, soaked the raisins in hot water before adding to machine for the last few minutes of kneading. Becareful they carry over a bit of water and can make the dough sticky. I'll roll it out thinner next time so I get even more pretty swirl marks. I used extra sugar and cinnamon and wished I wouldn't have it made it a bit more like a cinnamon roll inside rather than traditional bread. But is that really a problem ;o) This bread is better than anything store bought and so super easy to make.

This recipe was good. I think next time I will add more raisins and roll it thinner so there is more of a swirl.

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 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!

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.

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.
