Black raisins, cinnamon, and a cinnamon smear are swirled throughout this enriched bread to provide an irresistible and classic flavor combination. This bread is best when sliced and toasted to bring out its aromas and texture. We suggest using an offset spatula to spread the smear evenly and thinly onto the dough before shaping it—that way, the flavor distribution will be consistent, and there won’t be large gaps with no swirl in the baked loaf.
