I made a batch of this yesterday and was amazed at how close it looks to your photos. Really easy and really good. It’s going to be my Christmas presents this year.

Great! I think I may have a marathon bread baking day and give this for Christmas gifts. I think it is very pretty, and can be wrapped attractively in saran and tied with a big bow. Glad you figured out the problem…it’s such a good recipe!

Thanks for the tip Barb, I had actually tried making the bread again and it turned out better. I think I didn’t roll it tight enough the first time.

By the way, I made the recipe yesterday, and it was delicious. My family is not crazy about raisins, so I did everything the same, but cut up apples into small pieces instead. Turned out great!

I would say 2 things…If the air pockets were in the actual swirl lines, you may not have rolled it up “tight” enough. If the pockets were in the texture of the bread itself, you are right, you may not have kneaded out enough of the air when you were shaping the loaves.

I tried this recipe tonight, it turned out good. Everyone loved the flavor and the lightness of the crumb. Thank you for a good recipe.
However, my bread had HUGE air pockets in it, could it be I didn’t punch it down well enough? Any tips would be appreciated.

My 3 year old and I made this bread yesterday. I only had unsalted butter and was about 1/8 tsp short on salt. I also used 1/2 whole wheat flour and 1/2 white flour (just to make me feel better!) and it turned out great. I would add more cinnamon sugar next time to make it sweeter, but perhaps getting regular butter would help it a bit too. I love to bake but tend to make quick breads and cookies. This was a challenge, but turned out great. I did need more flour than the recipe to get it to a workable consistency.

[...] Cinnamon Raisin Swirl Bread: So yet again, I was going thru blogs that I like and I came across this. I often buy this type of bread in the grocery store (which has an ingredient list that’s a mile long and is full of names I can’t pronounce) for toast and the like in the morning. Plus if I was going to do it, I was really going to make a bread that I wanted to eat. Again, I decided on one that got awesome reviews from the blogger. I also wanted to try one from a blogger I trust (meaning that their food always looks amazing and I’ve tried something that they’ve posted before and liked it). [...]
