Cinnamon Raisin Bread

There is just something so nostalgic for me about cinnamon raisin bread for a sweet breakfast treat. In our house growing up we ate pretty healthy and my mom cooked most meals from scratch so it was a special treat when we would get a store-bought treat like this for breakfast.

The base of the dough is my Soft Sourdough Sandwich Bread, and that recipe does make 2 loaves. So, you could make one loaf of regular bread and one cinnamon raisin bread or both cinnamon raisins. In the dough itself there is no added sugar so to me it's not considered a 'sweet bread'. We do have a child that is anti-raisin and I have omitted them and it has turned out delicious. So, you most certainly can make changes.
