Healthy Raisin Bread image

This is a recipe I adapted from Maida Heatter's "New Book of Great Desserts". It makes a delicious loaf that slices so neatly that you can make small tea sandwiches with either sweet or savory fillings. It's wonderful served with a fruit salad. The canola oil is optional. The loaf tastes the same but stays moist longer with the oil.
