Cinnamon swirl bread is one of the greatest breads of all time. It was a favorite while I was growing up and it's still one of my favorites. I made a lot of cinnamon swirl bread last Christmas, which was part of why I decided to keep making bread all of this year. The only real problem with this bread, is that no one seems to know what Scottish oatmeal is. I looked at a dozen or so websites telling me different things. The recipe in the book says Scottish oatmeal is just whole oats that haven't been rolled flat. Other sites said that steel cut oats were how the Scots made their oatmeal. Others said that Scottish oats were ground up oats and were powdery. I just used steel cut oats because those are actually Irish oats (if you believe can anything on the internet) and the bread turned out incredibly. It's not as sweet as the previously mentioned cinnamon breads but the texture is top notch. The oatmeal in it gives it an incredible chewiness. It makes such awesome toast, I think it would make even better French toast. I'm really stoked how this one turned out.
