Cinnamon Raisin Bread
Whenever we visit Illinois I make sure there is time to bake with my dad. I have so many great memories with my dad, but spending time in the kitchen is one of my favorite past times. He is a superb baker and I love learning from him.
This time I requested Peter Reinhart's Cinnamon Raisin Bread from The Bread Baker's Apprentice. My dad didn't object because he loves anything and everything with raisins. We left out the walnuts because Josh is allergic and I really don' t like nuts in my bread.
The recipe makes two loaves and they didn't last long. My dad can never wait to slice the bread, I know that is a no-no, but he is right, it is SO good fresh out of the oven. We also used it for toast in the morning-I put extra cinnamon and sugar on my piece) We even tried French toast with the bread and it was Mmmm, Mmmm good!
A group of bloggers are baking their way through the Bread Baker's Apprentice. I am not participating, but I love the book and enjoy following their baking adventures. For more information about the group and book visit Nicole's blog: Pinch My Salt. This is a book you will want to add to your collection for sure!

Looks yummy, can't wait to try it!
I recently found your blog through a link on Baking Bites and it seems fabulous! You have lots of great recipes that I am excited to try!

Beautiful bread... I need to gather my bread baking energy (just made my first loaf of bread this week) and give this one a try!
Yum!
oh ya..I would so enjoy a slice with my morning coffee...with extra cinnamon and sugar of course :)
When I think of raisin bread, I remember the midnight snacking me and my dad did. Whenever our bakery have a new batch of raisin bread we always reserve one to eat at night smeared with cheese pimiento.
I cant wait for the cooler weather so I can start baking more bread. This recipe looks excellent!
How fun to bake with your dad! I can't resist hot bread either!

This is the best bread! I made it recently too and loved it so much. Glad you had a nice time with your dad :)

Looks great, and so glad you get to hang out with your dad. Great memories.

How awesome you're learning to bake bread from your dad! Fresh warm cinnamon raisin bread sounds SO good!

Have to give this a try sometime.
Oh, that looks so delicious! And I bet it would make amazing French toast, too!
That bread has made me hungry. Your dad is an amazing guy. Have a great day.
I've never made cinnamon raisin bread before- looks heavenly. And I love that you bake with your Dad. I have a similar tradition with my Dad. We drive together to get take-out. Haha.
I love seeing the progress of the BBA group..sounds like a great loaf.
Hooray for dads and baked goods - and both at the same time :)
That is so neat that your dad bakes too! The bread looks like it turned out scrumptious!! =)
Oh that looks delish! I have fallen so behind on BBA, the last thing I made was bagels! LOL I need more hours in a day :-p
Perfect & delicious loaf Maria. Yes, yes to cut this one out of the oven! I love following the BBA escapades as well, & sometimes wish I had jumped on board too. This loaf is a great choice you made.
Beautiful bread! I love things like that. And how lovely to have baking memories with your father. I don't think my dad even knows where the kitchen is.
I have it in my collection...and so should others.
Bread looks great.
Mmmmmm - beuatiful looking stuff!

My husband adores cinnamon raisin bread. I already own the book, but have never tried this recipe. Thanks for the nudge!
There is always something good about Cinnamon and Raisin.... looks fabulous = )
I haven't baked bread in a while now - this looks so good!
I have been seeing a lot of cinnamon raisin breads around lately - I guess its a sign I need to make some!
