Why You’ll Love It
Sweet, soft and homemade
This cinnamon swirl bread uses wholegrain spelt flour to give you a nutty flavour with extra fibre. The swirl is packed with cinnamon sugar for that classic sweet taste and gorgeous aroma.
Great for breakfast or snacking
It toasts beautifully and holds together for sandwiches too. You can slice it, freeze it, and reheat it easily. It’s a weekend treat that feels like a bakery bake—but simpler.
