I was very excited to see this week's TWD choice- Cinnamon Raisin Swirl Bread, picked by Food Baby. Finally, some bread!
As usual, Dorie's recipe is full of those pound-packing ingredients, so I decided to lighten it up a bit by using almond milk and some Splenda for Baking. The recipe also had a lot of optional ingredients. Some I used -nutmeg, cocoa powder (I used Hershey's Special Dark) - and some I didn't -orange zest- and it turned out great. I was afraid it might be a total fail because of the almond milk, but it was a success. I loved the little hit of cocoa.. yum!
This was a good choice. Love!
