Raisin Bread (no delay timer)

By ChrisPergament

Ingredients

• 7/8 cup water
• 1 1/2 T butter or margarine
• 1 tsp salt
• 3 cups bread flour
• 2 T sugar
• 1 1/2 T dry milk
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 1 3/4 tsp. active dry yeast
• 3/4 cup raisins (see note below)

Preparation

Step 1

Measure and add liquid ingredients to the bread pan.

Measure and add dry ingredients (except yeast) to the bread pan.

Use your finger to form a well (hole) in the flour where you will pour the yeast. Yeast must NEVER come into contact with a liquid when you are adding ingredients. Measure the yeast and carefully pour it into the well.

Snap the baking pan into the breadmaker and close the lid.

Press "select" button to choose the basic setting.

Press the "crust color" button to choose light, medium or dark crust.

Press the "start/stop" button.

When addiing fruit ingredients like raisins, the bread machine will make a beeping signal during the kneading cycle.

When the bread machine beeps during the kneading cycle, raise the lid and sprinkle the raisins in, a few at a time, until they are kneaded with the dough.
