Fall Harvest Bread

I’ve joined a Fall recipe swap and received this recipe in my email this morning. I only made one ingredient change in the recipe since we don’t really like raisins, I added toasted walnuts instead.

 

This was delicious. It made the house smell like fall and tastes like the perfect combination of everything you think about when you think of Fall. Enjoy!!
