Directions
World’s Best Cinnamon Raisin Bread (Not Bread Machine), This is the best Cinnamon Raisin Bread I’ve ever had! It really has a great consistency and smells WONDERFUL while baking I made this for the first time about a year ago and since it makes 3 loaves, I gave one to my neighbor Now she asks for it constantly and since it is so fun to make, I oblige her, plus I get to keep the other 2 loaves!, The basic recipe as laid out here is a definite success used some whole wheat bread flour and bran, but all within the volume specified I also used half brown sugar and maybe a bit if extra cinnamon Oh, and had to balance unsalted butter with salted as I didn’t have enough But the result was magnificent!, In the video she adds two cups of flour, but in the recipe it is 8 In addition, the recipe calls for you to rise your bread in the oven with the light on with a warm clothe over the top, but they covered it with plastic wrap in the video I guess I am wondering if anyone else had these questions as well?
