One of my favorite treats has always been cinnamon raisin toast with butter. Once I had perfected our traditional Artisan Country Loaf, I wondered if I could make a raisin sourdough bread, with cinnamon, maple syrup and walnuts (all organic, of course). After a few attempts, I found the perfect balance of ingredients and the result was amazing. However, we found that a few of our Breadness lovers could not eat walnuts so from that point we switched over to using Organic Pecans instead.

Not only is this bread great as a toasted slice with butter, it also makes the most amazing French Toast! I don’t even add any syrup on top; just Raw Farm Cultured Butter (or Nutiva vegan butter if you prefer). After such a hearty and nutritious dish as this, you might not be hungry for several hours! (organic, vegan)

Note: Our artisan Cinnamon Raisin Maple Pecan sourdough is baked weekly so it is usually available fresh. We try to keep a few frozen loaves on hand in the event we run out of the fresh ones. Those loaves are baked, cured to perfection then frozen. A loaf restores to room temperature very well and we include an instruction card that explains how to do this for best results. If you’d prefer a sliced frozen loaf, please specify in the Special Instructions box on the checkout page.
