Cinnamon raisin Ring Bread

I know, I know, EVERYONE who knows me will likely never in a million years believe that I can actually lay claim to have baked what looks like BREAD in the picture. But I can proudly claim to the whole world, I DID! :) When I sent the picture to my Dad and told him that I baked it, he "woahhh woahhh" in disbelief and said that he thought I just wanted him to have a look at a bread I bought from a shop. But noooo...its true....I did this single-handedly.

The original receipe is Pistachio Ring Bread, but I replaced Pistachios with raisins and cinnamon. It turned out really good. All that effort that went into kneading the dough (trust me, its hard work as evidenced by the aches and pains I suffered the next few days..) paid off when the bread came out of the oven all soft and chewy inside.

I am happy to share the receipe with anyone interested...
