Rye Raisin Loaf

I love rye bread rather than any other sweet bread.
Rye taste sour and dark heavy, chewy.
 
This is my special bread. I put raisin, cinnamon and molasses to make it dark and nice aroma.

Cinnamon aroma makes me hungry, molasses and raisins make it natural sweet.

Use a basket to make a nice shape.
