What is Raisin bread?

Raisin bread is a type of bread made with raisins and flavored with cinnamon. It is "usually a white flour or egg dough bread". Aside from white flour, raisin bread is also made with other flours, such as all-purpose flour, oat flour, or whole wheat flour. Some recipes include honey, brown sugar, eggs, or butter. Variations of the recipe include the addition of walnuts, hazelnuts, pecans or, for a dessert, rum or whisky.

Raisin bread is eaten in many different forms, including being served toasted for breakfast or made into sandwiches. Some restaurants serve raisin bread with their cheeseboards.
