Today's recipe is Cinnamon Swirl Raisin Bread. It is Egg-less and made of whole wheat flour. When I was a kid, my Dad used to buy freshly baked bread specially for me. It will be warm when he brings it home. When my mom gives it to me with Kissan Jam. mmmmmm... divine. Sometimes even the normal milka bread( the one normally available in all grocery shops) mom will toast it with ghee & serve with Jam.. Yum!! Even for dinner I could have that. I was that kind of fan from that age.
And also my grandpa(mom's dad) has always had bread (specially ordered for him) for dinner, due to health reasons. I would love to soak that bread in water and have too. But my grandpa is no more with us now. Though its been 8 yrs now, no single day has gone without thinking of him.
It is kind of nostalgic when I think of my love for bread. But there are people, who consider that bread has to be eaten when you are sick. Funny !!
Coming back to the cinnamon swirl bread, I tried to make it eggless and whole wheat. It was mainly for my health freak Hubby. He was so happy that I baked a bread at home and it is preservative free.
Original recipe is from Betty Crocker website. I halved the ingredients and made some substitutions. Since I used whole wheat flour, bread didnt rise much and it was a dense bread, but tasted good.
