Equipment

  • 1 breadmaker
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • 1 pastry brush to brush bread with butter after baking
  • 1 electric knife preferred, or sharp bread knife to slice down bread

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/3 cups water
  • 4 1/4 cups bread flour NOT all-purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp. granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp. dry milk powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 2 1/2 tbsp. unsalted butter cut in slivers
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 2 1/2 tsp. Fleishmann's bread machine yeast
  • 1 cup raisins separate before adding

Instructions
 

  • Layer ingredients in bread canister in order listed, except the raisins.
  • Start breadmaker on regular basic bread setting.
  • At the sound of the beep, add raisins.
  • Close lid and continue to bake until done.
  • Allow bread to sit in breadmaker 15 minutes before removing.
  • Spread top and sides of bread with butter to prevent the crust from hardening.
  • Allow bread to rest 15 minutes before slicing down.

Notes

NOTE: It normally takes about 45 minutes for the beeper to go off on the breadmaker so you can add the raisins.
 
NOTE: Homemade bread has no preservatives to it needs to be refrigerated after 2 days.
 
NOTE: all-purpose flour does not contain the necessary gluten to bond the ingredients together as well as bread flour. The bread may turn out crumbly. For best results use bread flour.
 
NOTE: I recommend using Fleischmann's yeast or bread machine yeast in any yeast bread recipe. Red Star yeast just doesn't work as well.
