Prepare the Dough:
Follow Steps 1 and 2 from the original recipe to create the basic dough.
Make sure to incorporate the cinnamon during the mixing process.
Add Walnut and Raisin Swirl:
After the first rise, roll out the dough into a rectangle on a floured surface.
Spread a layer of softened butter on the surface of the dough.
Sprinkle a mixture of ground cinnamon and sugar evenly across the dough.
Sprinkle toasted walnut pieces and raisins over the cinnamon-sugar layer.
Shape and Rise Again:
Carefully roll up the dough into a log, ensuring to seal the edges.
Place the rolled dough into the buttered loaf tin.
Cover the tin with oiled cling film and let it rise for an additional 30 minutes or until it reaches the top of the tin.
Glaze and Bake:
Follow Step 4 from the original recipe for glazing and baking.
Serve and Enjoy:
Once baked and cooled, slice the Cinnamon Raisin Walnut Swirl Bread.
Serve it lightly toasted and spread with butter or cream cheese.
You can also sprinkle a bit more cinnamon sugar on top for an extra touch.
