I replaced the raisins with soaked dried cranberries, and Penzy’sapple pie spice since I was out of cinnamon. It is so dang good.

Hi Bassam,
The recipes on this website are for home bakers, so they are small scale recipes. I would recommend visiting our bakery/food service division’s website (http://lesaffreyeast.com/) for larger scale formula ideas.

Happy baking!
Carol
