FANTASTIC!!!! my mother-in-law is 91--she has a slice, toasted every morning. She claims that it's the best bread she ever had.

This recipe makes a very good cinnamon raisin bread. I had to add a little more flour, as the dough was very sticky. The loaves didn't rise as high as I had expected; may consider using a single 11"x5" loaf pan in the future. An additional 1/2 cup of raisins was added to the brown sugar and cinnamon prior to rolling. Some extra brown sugar was also added. Will definitely make this again.

Made this bread but rolled it flat and lightly sprinkled cinnamon and sugar and chopped 1/2 cup or more nuts and sprinkled on bread. Rolled up jelly roll style into a loaf. Let rise in bread pan and baked. My husband took a piece in his lunch and called to say he wished he had brought more.

Yummy!! Very easy! Next time I will add cinnamon to the dough. I made 2 loaves and both were really small even after rising double...maybe next time i will only use one 9x5 pan to get that big puffed top on the bread.

Made it in the oven, I don't have a bread machine. Was good, but not quite as sweet and sugar-y as I like, was more of a hint of sweetness, but still good.

This was exactly what I was looking for! I did it without the bread machine but it still came out perfect. I will definately be making this again. Thanks for the recipe!!

I made this once to give it a try. LOVED it! Only changes I made when making it again was to put a dash of cinnamon in the dough, added powdered milk and skipped adding the milk (to keep the dough more elastic instead of sticky) and soaked the raisins in water for about an hour before starting the recipe for the bread machine. My whole family loved this recipe so much I made 15 loaves for a bake sale and sold out in less than an hour because I offered samples. Thank you Joey for this awesome recipe!

My family loves this bread! I forgot to add the rasins in the bread machine, so I kneaded them into the dough before I rolled it out. It worked fine and freed me from having to listen for the beep on my bread machine to add them in. I also had to add a little more flour when kneading the bread because the dough was sticky. I did have to let the loaves rise for more than an hour to fill the 9x5 loaf pans. Baked for exactly 30 minutes and they came out beautifully! I froze one which was great when thawed. This bread would make a great teacher appreciation gift.

This bread was really quite simple to make and yummy. I didn't get the swirls right but next time i will. I just put all the initial items into a mixer with a dough hook in no specific order instead of a bread machine . Thanks

Maybe it's because I'm pregnant, but this bread was sooo good! I had to add some more flour, about 1/4 cup, as it was too wet and sticky in the bread machine. I also added a teaspoon of cinnamon to the dough and plumped up the raisins in boiling water before adding to the bread machine. After rolling out, I doubled the brown sugar and cinnamon for the filling. Baked exactly 30 minutes...perfect!

this recipe doesn't say how much nuts to use. I put in 1/2 cup. My 2lb. bread machine took about 30minutes before the beep to add the nuts and raisins. The rest was really easy also. Everyone really liked it just out of the oven. I'm sure it will be good toasted. Thanks Michele
