Have I mentioned I’ve tried to make yeast bread over the last 35 years and failed miserably? Well, I have. I’ve followed recipes down to a T. Failure! I’m thinking I’m making it harder than it has to be. I know there’s a lot of ‘feel’ to it. I introduced my grandson to cinnamon raisin bread and the smell alone, from the toaster, was all it took to sell him hard. It’s expensive stuff right now!! 5 bucks a loaf? And the loaves are dinky. Delicious, but dinky. I went in WITHOUT a recipe except my own little quick hot roll recipe, and made 2 loaves for Pennie’s, literally. I even used whole wheat flour and golden raisins. It can be made with either flour. I like the fiber in whole wheat.

When I saw the perfect rum raisins, I started to really crave some raisin bread.I decided to use the slim bread pan that I haven't taken out in awhile.Topping with butter is up to you, and of course, you can use a large bread pan if you prefer.Since I like the raisins to be slightly crushed, I add them to the bread maker during the kneading process. If you would rather keep the raisins whole, remove the dough from the bread maker and mix them in with your hands.If you don't have rum raisins, soak some raisins in hot water until they are soft.The baking time and temperature may differ depending on your oven, so adjust accordingly.

I was about to make the usual French Toast then I realized I had cinnamon raisin bread & said, hey...I should try using this instead & it turned out great! Hope you all enjoy it as much as I did!

Ooey gooey sweet sticky and almost guilt free (its only bread, right?) ;-)
