Cinnamon Swirl Wheat Bread

3pkg. yeast

1/2c. olive oil

1/2c. honey

10c. wheat flour

7c. very warm water

2T. salt

Mix together then let rest 5min.

Add 8-12c. more of wheat flour or until dough comes from the sides. Knead.

Place 1/5 of the dough onto a oiled work surface. Spread with filling. Then fold in long sides to the middle. Roll up from shortest end. Pinch seam and put seam side down into a greased 8-9in. loaf pan. Let rise in a warm place till doubled in size. About 1/2 hour. Bake at 400 for 10min. then reduce temp. to 350 and bake 15-20min. longer. Sides and top will be brown, and it will sound hollow when tapped.

Yields 5 loaves

Filling (makes enough for 1 loaf)

1/2-3/4c. brown sugar

2T. cinnamon

1/2 c. raisins

1/2 c. chopped walnuts( or pecans)

Cooks note: You will find it very hard to resist cutting this when it first comes out of the oven:)

But hold yourself back at least 10min. So it has a little time to cool. Or you may have some squished sliced results!
