Try #1 - February 12, 2013
I made this to use for French toast for Abby's birthday.  Not my favorite bread ever, but it was pretty good.  I made the 1 pound loaf which came out pretty small, but was about perfect for what we needed.  It reminded me of cinnamon raisin bagels, especially when toasted with butter.
