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. **.

• 2. Soak raisins at least 2 hours in rum to plump the raisins (soak longer if you have time).
• 3. Add egg and milk to bread pan; cover liquid completely with flour.
• 4. To each corner of pan and on top of the flour, start adding sugar in one corner, salt in another corner, butter and cinnamon. Make a well in the center of the flour and add yeast.
• 5. I used the 2 lb loaf setting, selected fruit and nuts and started the machine. Add raisins when prompted or after the 1st kneading. My machine does not prompt for adding raisins or nuts so I had to listen for that 1st kneading.
• 6. This bread rose to the very top of my machine. So, the last 10 minutes of baking time I lifted the top/lid slightly and placed a spoon under the lid to keep it up above the bread so the top would dry and brown. Honestly this is the best bread I've ever made by baking it in the bread machine.
