Sweet Raisin Cinnamon Bread
What it is
This is a soft, enriched bread infused with warm cinnamon spice and studded with plump, sweet raisins throughout. It has a tender crumb and a delightful aroma that fills the kitchen. The sweetness comes from the raisins and a touch of sugar, balanced by the fragrant cinnamon. It's a comforting and flavorful bread, perfect for enjoying on its own or as part of a meal.
How people cook with it
This bread is wonderfully versatile, suitable for both sweet and savory applications. Its inherent sweetness makes it a treat, while its bready texture allows it to be used in many ways.

- Bread pudding ingredient
Enjoy this bread fresh from the package, or lightly toasted for an enhanced flavor and crisp texture. It makes an excellent base for French toast, soaking up egg and milk mixtures beautifully. For a comforting dessert, it can be cubed and used in a bread pudding, absorbing custardy goodness. It also works surprisingly well as a sweet counterpoint in certain savory sandwiches, offering a unique flavor contrast. Simply slice and serve as desired.

How to keep the rest
To maintain its freshness, store any leftover bread in its original packaging or an airtight container at room temperature. Avoid refrigeration, as this can dry out the bread. It is best consumed within a few days of opening.
