Stafidopsomo, or raisin bread, is a semi-sweet, yellow-brown loaf in round or oval shape.

Made with flour, yeast, salt, sugar and raisins, the dough is baked at moderate heat, at lower temperatures than bread. Stafidopsomo has a history of its own dating back to Ottoman Rule and, according to oral tradition, the bread was first made, and enjoyed, on Crete. Today this delicate sweet bread is a popular bakery product and made with different types of  flour; wheat, barley or corn.
