THE BEST RAISIN BREAD FOR BREAD MAKER / MACHINE
I have tried no less than 5 different recipes and several variations of Raisin Bread recipes before finding what I think is the best tasting recipe. It is a culmination of trail and error using various recipes found on the internet and in Bread Machine Cookbooks. This recipe makes approximately a 1.5lb (750gm) loaf.

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. **.

Steps:
- 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. Add yeast to well.
- If possible, use the 'sweet' setting on your breadmaker.
- Raisins and walnuts should be added during the kneading cycle. Some breadmakers will beep to tell you when.

Tips:
- For a softer crust, brush the top of the bread with melted butter before baking.
- To add a crunchy topping, sprinkle the top of the bread with granulated sugar before baking.
- If you don't have a breadmaker, you can make this bread by hand. Just follow the instructions for the dough cycle, then shape the dough into a loaf and bake it in a preheated 375°F oven for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Be sure to use fresh raisins for the best flavor.
- If you don't have any raisins, you can substitute another dried fruit, such as cranberries, cherries, or apricots.
Conclusion:
This delicious raisin bread is a great way to enjoy a warm, homemade loaf of bread. It's perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and it can be enjoyed on its own or with your favorite toppings.
