For the last weeks I have been making breads a lot. Especially sweet breads.
Every year this time my hubby goes in a sort of a diet, he stop eating most of the luxry food or just say foods he love to eat, and no wine etc.
So he won't eat chocolate, biscuits, fried food, no nuts which he is crazy for and have almost every evening a small bowl.
He does this saying the whole winter one has been having fatty food so it is nice to clean the body.
Well daughter and I join in, grumblingly.
So to have my additiction for sweets I bake sweet breads to compensate :-)
I followed the same recipe but instead of just adding raisins , i did
1 1/2 cup of raisins and 1 cup chopped pecannuts.
And also did the cinamon swrill.
To make the cinamon sugar, stir 1/2 cup sugat and 2 tbsp cinamon. When shaping the dough,roll out the dough into a rectangl and then sprinkle the sugar mix and then roll up the dough into a light sandwithc style loaf, pinching the seam closed with your fingers.
When you slice the bread, it will look pretty and also add extra cinamon flavour.

Lovely bread F..I am yet to start baking with yeast..:)
Bread looks gorgeous. Pretty swirls. You are indeed a pro in baking bread.
i just made this bread usin another recipe..that called for an egg wash before sprinkling the sugar.. i thot it wad to adhere the sugar... u think that is imp?
Mallugirl you did the affwash after baking? And then sprinkled sugar? Or before the baking.
I just brushed tthe bread straigt from the oven with melted butter and then sprinkled sugar on top.
This looks so yummy. I love the swirls.
fab looking bread..just perfect!
I haven't had a slice of a good cinnamon loaf in ages. I wish I could just get the slice you have there :)
that's a wonderful combination, cinnamon/pecan and raisins , nice recipe!!
Great.. you bake so good. This is fab!
mmm, i love these flavoured breads, these are available by the name cinnamon swirl here
Wow, u've turned into a masterful baker ... I'm so impressed with this one!
Delicious!! Nuts and sweet bread, yummyy!!
Looks very well baked.
What a scrumptious looking bread. It would be perfect as toast with butter!
I know how you feel. My boyfriend is cutting refined sugar out of his diet. I just want to scream don't you realize I blog!! lol!! Now I just want sugar all the more!!!
perfect bread for breakfast. looks so good.
I like the way you think. Besides if you call it bread, you get to have it at every meal. At least in my world.
I love cinnamon raisin bread - all the better with pecans!
That's such an incredibly healthy bread with cinnamon and raisins and pecans...lovely combo!I'm running an event at my place with Bread as the topic - would so love to have you come over and take a peek!:)
