Warm Up to Cinnamony Goodness





Today we spent the whole day indoors, hiding out from the cold and snow that just won't seem to leave. When it's cold here, I do laundry and bake to warm up the house. I usually bake all my family's bread, but we already have some whole wheat for sandwiches in the freezer and needed some variety for breakfast. So I threw together some granola adapted from a recipe from the Complete Tightwad Gazette with raisins, almonds, currants and coconut and decided to bake some bread. Behold the beauty of my Cinnamon Raisin Swirl Bread~ hand-kneaded, raised with heat from the dryer and just as tasty as it is beautiful.

While I wish I was clever enough to have come up with the recipe, you can find it here on AllRecipes.com and make some cinnamony goodness all your own. **Hint- I used bread flour in place of all-purpose and it's best enjoyed slightly warm with a little butter. Mmm! Yummy!

  1. Looks yummy! I've been wanting to start baking my own sandwich bread. I need to find some good recipes to do so. It's been so cold here to; a nice loaf of bread in the oven would certainly warm things up. Maybe I'll give it a try when I get home from work tonight. =)

  2. I wrote an article that has my favorite recipe in it that makes six loaves. I bake off two and freeze the rest of the dough to bake as I need it. Check it out and get the recipe at http://www.examiner.com/green-parenting-in-akron/wholesome-homemade-bread-for-your-family
