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!!!!!

Dried out quickly. Not quite the texture of a great cinnamon bread and needs more raisins. But Super when toasted.

This is way better than any cinnamon raisin bread I've ever bought at the store. My husband loves cinnamon raisin bread, and I've been looking for ages to find a good homemade recipe. Here it is! Love it!!

OOOHHHHH...so good. Definitely one of the best raisin breads I've ever made. I added a little more cinnamon and raisins then it called for, just for a little more flavor. It turned out great! Three nice size loaves...enough to send a loaf out to my parents! My husband and daughter love this bread as well. I definitely will make it again!

I used 1/2 WW and 1/2 AP flour, used flax in place of eggs, canola oil instead of butter and soymilk instead of dairy. The bread still came out soft and perfectly flavored. A really really good, easy bread.

LOVE this recipe! I made it twice and both times I read the recipe wrong! I melted the butter and mixed it with the cinnamon and sugar. The first time it melted out of the ends a bit. The second time I divided the dough in thirds, THEN filled it and rolled it. I used regular flour the first time and bread flour the second. I think I like the texture of the bread flour over the regular but it is delicious either way.

This is a very good recipe ! I made mine a little different but it still turned out great . I halfed the recipe and used bread machine yeast and used bread flour and made the dough in a bread machine and then put the swirl on cinnamon and baked it in a oven . It turned out great !

I really liked this recipe, it was my first taking baking bread and everyone really liked it. I did add regular cooking oats and small chopped apples to the swirl mix which I think helped it to be a bit moister. Overall great, and you must try it with cream cheese.

I really liked this recipe. I followed it to the T, except I used skim milk and egg substitutes in lieu of milk and eggs. I did add 1/3 cup brown sugar to the sugar/cinnamon mixture for the swirl - and it came out so good and gooey. Paired with a little cream cheese frosting, this is a great dessert as well. Thank you for sharing!
