  1. I used my Kitchen Aid to mix this. DE-LISH-US!!! I took notes from others and plumped up my raisins in water first and also added 1t. cinnamon to dough while mixing. One loaf went to a friend, the other was made into French toast. I will need to get cracking on another batch - DH didn't get a taste of this one...OOPS! :)
     
  2. I made this without a breadmaker. Added about 1tsp cinnamon to the flour, used the sugar and water to proof the yeast, and heated the milk, shortening, and salt together before mixing. Dough was a bit tough to knead at first, but softened after the first rising, and the final product is well worth it - this recipe's a keeper!
     
  3. I can't believe I haven't reviewed this yet. I've made this recipe dozens of times and give most of the loaves away. I get rave reviews all the time. Very easy to make and the bonus is that you get 2 loaves! Thank you for making me look good :)
     
  4. Very nice raisin bread. I have made it 3 times so far. The first time I made it by hand as with half whole wheat,half bread flour, with raisins in the dough, and the whole family loved it. The second time I layered the raisins with the butter/cinnamon sugar and the bread still came out good, but the raisins kept falling out of the slices. Third time was a charm. I made as with 50/50 flour mixture, kicked up the cinnamon a little bit ,raisins in dough. Good stuff. When I used the whole wheat I did use a 1/4 tsp. more yeast. Thanks for the recipe, and it freezes well.
     
  5. I made twice and the second time, I doubled the cinnamon filling and rolled the bread tighter for a nicer swirl. It was delicious both times.
