Delicious Breadmaker Raisin Bread Recipes

THE BEST RAISIN BREAD FOR BREAD MAKER / MACHINE

Steps:

• Firstly, mix the flour, milk powder, sugar, salt and cinnamon together thoroughly in a mixing bowl making sure there are no lumps.
• Now add the luke warm water and butter into the bread machine. (I divide the butter into four pieces and put one in each corner of the pan for easier mixing).
• Then add the dry mixed ingredients into the pan. Make a small well in the centre of the dry mixture and add the yeast.
• Set the Bread Maker / Machine to 'Sweet Bread' setting and wait for it to 'BEEP' (approx 15 minutes) before adding the raisins.
• Wait until cooked and enjoy fresh or toasted with butter -- YUM !
• ** If the mixture is too dry while mixing you can add a tablespoon of water. Alternatively if its too moist, a tablespoon of flour should sort it out nicely. **.

• Once the dough has proofed, press it into rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Press any raisins that have fallen out of the dough into the center. Roll onto its self into a log, pinch the seam then transfer to a loaf pan that has been lightly greased.
• Cover again and allow to rise for 30 minutes while you preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F.
