The cinnamon is mingled with vanilla, lemon, and orange, with just a kiss of molasses in the dough to keep it moist for several days. It is rich with whole grain and a delicious bread. We think your family will love it as well. The bread is remarkable all by itself. We sprinkle with a few rolled oats for added texture. It is also delicious with some added walnuts or pecans, if desired. Did we mention that it makes delicious French toast!? Well. Why wait? Make your family some of the best whole-grain cinnamon swirl bread out there!
