This was my first yeast bread so I'd like to cut myself some slack. But really, I should have seen it coming. I think the first error was too little flour. I had a sticky dough, too sticky to form, too sticky to roll. So it ended up growing flat and sideways and being one slice thick period. Oh brother.
My saving grace was going to be the taste. I love raisin bread! I thought the orange zest annd cocoa would be great additions. Until I tried it. Dry, and tasteless except for the occassional raisin. This one totally got the better of me. But I will try again!

no photo? It was probably not as bad as you think. We are always the hardest on ourselves. Try it again one day. It is very good.
Keep trying! Once you get the hang of yeast it's easy!
Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear that your raisin swirl bread was a dud. Better luck next time!
Slap it in a frying pan and make french toast, it's the best!
Ah, bummer!
I made cinnamon rolls and thought the dough was great to work with. Try it again sometime. Maybe you didn't chill the dough long enough??? Mine was super sticky before it sat in the fridge for 3-4 hours. (Dorie says to freeze it for 30 minutes.)
Sorry this one was a flop. Don't let it put you off bread baking; it just takes a little practice.
Have no fear! You are bigger than that little grain of yeast. Mush on you can do it.
