Although I just recently moved to the country, I love from-scratch cooking, and baking bread is a favorite pastime. This rich bread has a delectable cinnamon flavor and is loaded with raisins.

I made this bread in a Dutch oven and it turned out perfectly! The crust was crispy and the inside was moist and fluffy.

This bread is very good, but it's a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe by half.

This bread is a bit dense, but it's still very flavorful. I would recommend adding a bit more liquid to the recipe to make it a bit lighter.
