Ingredients
  • 3-1/2 cups flour
  • 3/4 package of quick activating yeast
  • 1 cup milk, scalded (or microwaved for 30 seconds)- then cooled down to about 120 degrees
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1-1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup raisins
  • ***Equipment needed: bread machine on "fruit bread cycle"

Directions
  1. Put yeast in order of your bread machine requires
  2. In my 2 pound bread machine, the yeast goes in first.
  3. Then add flour, salt, spices, milk.
  4. Cut up butter into bits and place into bread machine loaf pan.
  5. Select fruit bread cycle (or try regular if your doesn't have one)
  6. After five minutes of stirring ingredients, carefully lift lid and add raisins slowly to dough.
  7. Turn down lid and let your bread machine do its magic.
  8. Mine takes about three hours for the fruit cycle to complete from the beginning to the end.
  9. ***I really was impressed with how this came out. It has a crispy crust while the inside is light, airy and smelled utterly amazing while baking. It toasts really nicely too! I altered a from scratch recipe of rich rolls called cinnamon toast and tweaked it for the bread machine.

You can also make this bread by using the dough button on your bread machine. Then place it onto a floured board, let rest for ten minutes, then roll out to a rectangle, add more raisins all over along with sprinkling more cinnamon and a bit of sugar. Then roll is up like a jelly roll, pinching the sides underneath and placing it into a greased bread loaf pan and bake in a 375 degree oven for 25-30 minutes.


Good job I never used a bread machine, I have been told that the crust weren't as crusty as conventional bread making methods. Home made bread is still the best.

Great post

Good recipe. But this will also work by mixing by hand or mixer and cooking in oven. I don't have a bread machine, but I do have a great heavy-duty mixer. Scalding of milk today is just about a thing of the past and goes back to the days before pasteurization. This looks good. Love the butter, not shortening.


Good breads are a real weakness and this one sounds very good!


Wow - great recipe and it is now in queue as my next bread-baking venture. I always love your recipes..thanks!
