October is Martin’s Swirl Breads Month

Up this week: Martin’s Cinnamon-Raisin Butter Bread!*

This week marks the second edition of our unofficial Martin’s Swirl Breads Month! Last week, we featured the sweet, nostalgic flavor of Martin’s Cinnamo­­n Sugar Swirl Potato Bread and seven delicious recipes made with it. This week, we’re talking about the more subtly sweet Cinnamon-Raisin Butter Bread!*

 

About Martin’s Cinnamon-Raisin Butter Bread

For delightfully sweet cinnamon and raisins swirled with the old-fashioned rustic taste of butter bread, choose Martin’s Cinnamon-Raisin Butter Bread!* This bright, eye-catching package contains all the flavor of cinnamon and the classic taste of high-quality white bread in one loaf.

As with our original Old-Fashioned Real Butter Bread (and all of Martin’s bread and rolls), this swirl bread is made with high-quality ingredients such as real milk, high-protein wheat flour, and real butter. So, it’s a swirl bread that you can actually feel good about enjoying and serving to those you love. Because of its more classic and less-sweet taste, this loaf is especially delicious when paired with savory and salty ingredients!

Grab a loaf from your local grocery store, then
try out each of the tasty recipes below!

*Note: Martin’s Cinnamon-Raisin Butter Bread has been discontinued. We recommend substituting this product with Martin’s Cinnamon-Raisin Swirl Potato Bread, or with one of our other Swirl Bread products.
