TWD Raisin Swirl Bread

This weeks recipe for Tuesdays with Dorie is Raisin Swirl Bread and it was chosen by Susan of Food.Baby. I will be honest. I thought about skipping this weeks recipe. I just wasn't in the mood for baking bread. Don't get we wrong I love baking bread, and I especially love raisin bread. It's just that the weather here in Kentucky has been more like the middle of August instead of June. Steamy is the best way to describe it. 90 plus degrees every day and thunderstorms most every afternoon. Heating up the kitchen with a hot oven was not exactly on my to do list.

I'm glad that I decided to go ahead and make this bread. It really was easy and it tasted great. Another plus to making bread is that it makes your kitchen smell wonderful. I enjoyed this bread toasted for breakfast this morning. Yummy. Thanks to Susan for picking this great recipe.

I wasn't happy about heating up the kitchen either, but it was soooooooo worth it.

It was a nice cool rainy day when I made mine! I don't like to bake when it's hot out:)
