here is the recipe for wordless wednesday's cinnamon raisin swirl bread :)

Another recipe found in my Better Home and Gardens Biggest Book of Bread Machine Recipes cookbook.

For a 2 lb-
1 cup milk
2 egg
1/4 cup butter, cut up
4 cups bread flour
1/34 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (i skipped this ingredient so that Liam could enjoy it too)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter, softened
- the recipe does not call for it but I added in raisins with the first 7 ingredients so that they were mixed into the dough.

- add the first 7 ingredients to the machine according to the manufacturer's directions.  Select dough cycle.  When cycle is complete, remove dough. Punch down. Cover and let rest for 10 min.
Meanwhile for filling, in a small bowl stir together the walnuts, brown sugar and cinnamon and set aside.
Grease two 9x5x3 inch loaf pans; set aside.  On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a 14x9 inch rectangle.  Spread with half the softened margarine and sprinkle with half the filling.  Starting from both short sides, roll up each side into a spiral toward the center.  Place, rolled side up, in the prepared loaf pan.  Repeat steps to make second loaf.  Cover and let rise in a warm place about 30 minutes or until nearly double.
Bake in a 350 degree oven about 30 minutes or until bread sounds hollow when lightly tapped. If necessary, cover loosely with foil the last 10 minutes to prevent over browning.  Remove from pan; cool on wire rack. 

SOOO yummy!!  What is better than homemade bread?!  We like to eat or slices toasted with a little butter :)

P.S.- if you haven't noticed yet... I am not one of those people who received a bread machine as a random wedding present and let it collect dust in the closet.  I actually rescued mine from collecting dust in someone else's closet :).  I LOVE my bread machine and use it at least once a week.  It makes creating the yummiest things.. so easy!  If you don't have one.. I'm telling you.. get one!  Its a great investment!
