One of Uncle Ed’s favorites, cinnamon raisin bread. We wanted to make something I could take home for Jen, as a sort of peace offering for taking a 10 day vacation while she worked. That makes up for it, right?

• 1 cup warm water
• 2x 1/4oz active dry yeast pkts
• 3 eggs
• 1.5 cups sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 cut soft butter
• 1 cup raisins
• 8 cups all purpose flour
• 2 tbsp milk

For the slather

• 3 tbsp sugar
• 2 tbsp melted butter
• 3 tbsp cinnamon

Really, scald the milk, mix it all up, roll out into 3 even strips for 3 total loaves, slather in butter, sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar, roll it up tight, proof it right in the pan, and bake 45 min at 350. That’s it. A lot of ingredients but a simple product.
