Don’t you want a slice of this? Right now? Toasted and buttered? Ladies and gentlemen, let’s bake some bread. Cinnamon swirl bread always feels like a special treat. It did when I was five and it still does now. I like to toast it and peel the layers away one at a time. Nothing compares to that last buttery bite from the very middle. I’m a big fan of raisins, so I always throw a healthy handful into my cinnamon swirl bread.
