Cinnamon swirl loaves are a special delicacy all their own. Over Christmas break I made a ton of these loaves for people and they couldn't get enough. I used a different recipe but these ones turned out just as well. To mix it up these ones used walnuts and raisins, something I might do in future loaves. The recipe also makes one regular loaf, because I guess this bread is delicious enough to not be a swirl loaf.
The recipes are the same, you just make the filling for one of the loaves, and let the other bake normally. I gotta say that these two loaves are fantastic separate and together. I might have to make a sandwich using a slice from each of them. They both have a good solid crust but are super soft in the middle. The swirl loaf is so soft that it's actually hard to eat because it falls apart so easily. This is definitely a plus in my book though.
These last few white breads I'm doing are going to be sweet breads, so I guess I've saved the best for last. I've had to mix up the order due to ingredients and time to prepare (one coming up has to sit for 6 hours before I even start) but I think all the ones to come are going to be delicious. I might mix it up more down the road depending on holidays and events (Super Bowl coming up!) but for the most part we're going to just cruise through the whole book!
