Cinnamon Raisin Bread

It can be hard to find vegan cinnamon raisin bread that isn't loaded with HFCS (it's good for you, silly...), hydrogenated oils and tons of chemicals. But, why bother looking when it's so easy to make for yourself by making a few changes to this sandwich bread recipe. I've been making loads of whole wheat loaves this summer, for which I reduce the total amount of flour by 1/4 cup. When making the cinnamon raisin loaf, just add 1 tsp to 1 T of cinnamon to the flour. I also like to add cinnamon to the flour I use on the board as I'm rolling out the dough. After rolling it out, smear it with as much (or as little) Earth Balance as you like. Sprinkle as much (or as little) cinnamon sugar over the entire rectangle and add raisins, if you like. Then, roll it up, let it rise in the pan and bake as usual. When you place it in the loaf pan, it helps to pat it down really well to get the layers to stick together. You just have to let it rise for a little longer, but it's worth it when you go to slice your bread. I will say that, if you'd like your loaf to be sweet, add more sugar than you think you need. It looks like a lot as you're sprinkling it on, but mine is never as sweet as I think it will be.
