After a beautiful October, it has definitely started to cool
down outside. Typically this happens
during October, but for some reason we had a very mild month. I am definitely happy about that! Especially considering how expensive oil is,
and unfortunately that is what we use to heat our (very old) home.
keeping our home warm, is to bake – a lot.
Of course that can go one of two ways, you can bake a lot of sweets, or
you can make more savory meals in the oven.
One that seems to satisfy both for us is bread. I love to make homemade bread. I do not bake a lot of bread during the
summer; it is not what our bodies crave.
But, once it cools down, we are ready for bread again.
This week I tried to switch up my normal bread baking. I have always loved cinnamon raisin bread,
but have never made it myself from scratch.
I have made it in a bread machine, and that makes it easy. I was not sure exactly when I should add the
cinnamon and raisins – probably could have used a recipe at this point, but that would be too easy.
doing was taking my basic bread recipe (find that recipe here), and just adding in a bunch of cinnamon with the dry
ingredients, and then adding a bunch of raisins when I was kneading the dough.
out awesome. It was not super sweet, but
it was just sweet enough with the added raisins. The kids loved it, and have asked for it
every day since I made that one loaf.
Apparently I need to buy more bread pans…
seeing what everyone else is eating this week!
And I will be bringing back my favorites next week after I took a bit of
time off in October during {31 Days}.
I'm like you. I love to bake in the winter time. Not only does it warm my house up but it makes it smell so good! Thanks for stopping by our blog and inviting us to link up with your party!
