Cinnamon raisin bread is made for toasting, as I learned early in life. White bread does make a fine piece of toast, but the aroma released by the cinnamon as each slices toasts is heavenly and there is no need to point out that it is also a perfect vehicle for butter. Much like Ideas in Food, I like to top mine with a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar, too. This Smoked Cinnamon Raisin Bread is unique, however, because it uses smoked butter in the dough and has its juicy raisins soaked in rum. Both additional flavors lend a richness and depth to the bread that would not otherwise be there. Raisin toast may be a childhood pleasure, but this is a decidedly adult version.
Smoked butter can be bought here, but you can always fall back to regular butter if smoked is unavailable to you.
