How long do you soak the raisins? Also, is the akin to the cinnamon raisin bread we'd find in the stores? I love cinnamon raisin bread even though I'm not much of a raisin fan.

Thanks Vannie,
I have to try this. All 3 of us like raisins..

My middle brother wouldn't eat raisins but the dr wanted him to , so my mother would put them way up in the cupboard and tell him not to touch them. It worked because she'd watch him look around and see if she was there . If not he was to the cupboard and in to them every time.
When he was small he was a corker.. LOL. ( He's 62 in July )

I soak the raisins until they plump up (10 to 15 mins), then they don't sink to the bottom of the pan. Also, to me it is more dense and has more texture than store bread.
