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. **.

APPLE CINNAMON RAISIN PITAS (BREAD MACHINE)
I used to buy these breakfast "pitas" from the grocery store, but figured out how to make them at home - for a heck of alot less. They're more like small, flatbreads, and I slice them in half, toast them, and spread them with peanut butter, honey, or jam. Yum! They're not very sweet, as there isn't much sugar in them.

Steps:
- 1. Place ingredients except apples and raisins in bread machine in order that your machine specifies.
- 2. Set to "dough" setting and allow to complete cycle, adding the apples and raisins when your machine alerts you to add nuts/fruit. I actually have found that kneading these in by hand is actually easier, as they're a bit finicky to get worked through the dough.
- 3. Separate into 10 balls. Press each ball into a 4" round with your hands - you'll likely need to stuff some raisins and apples back in - it's worth it. Place on nonstick cookie sheets and allow to rise for 30 minutes.
- 4. Preheat oven to 500. Flip rounds, then place in oven for 5 minutes, flip again; turn oven down to 350 and bake for 15-20 minutes longer, until cooked through.
- 5. Remove from pan onto clean towel and cover while cooling.

Steps:
- Heat cold milk for 30 seconds in the microwave; hold eggs under tap water for a minute to warm.
- Add ingredients according to your manufacturer's directions.
- Set Cycle: Sweet, Size, 2lb.
- After about 5 minutes, check your dough: Add a tablespoon of water if too dry, or a tablespoon of flour if too wet, until dough is smooth.
- Alternatively, set cycle to dough, take dough out and shape as desired.
- I like to divide the dough in half, then divide each half into three, roll into ropes and braid, joining the dough ends together to create a braided circle.
- Leave to rise until doubled, bake in a preheated 350 degree oven until golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.

Steps:
- Soak the raisins in warm water for 10 minutes.
- Drain and pat dry.
- Toss with cinnamon and sugar, then place in machine with other ingredients.
- Remove dough from the machine after the first knead- approximately 20- 30 minutes.
- Place dough on floured surface.
- Divide into 8 parts.
- Form balls, gently press thumb through center of ball and slowly stretch into bagel shape.
- While bagels rise, bring 3 quarts water and 1 TBS sugar to a rapid boil in a large sauce pan.
- Drop test dough (see first success hint).
- Using slotted spoon, drop 2-3 bagels into rapidly boiling water.
- Boil on each side for 1 1/2 minutes.
- Remove and cool on rack 1 minute, brush with egg wash.
- Bake at 400°F on a baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal, until golden brown- approximately 15 minutes.
- Bagel Success Hints: When forming bagels, set aside two 1/4" balls of dough.
- When bagels have doubled in size, drop the test dough into boiling water.
- Dough should pop to the top right away.
- When this happens, it is time to boil the bagels.
- A quick spray of non-stick vegetable coating on the top of the bagel may be substituted for the egg wash.
- To make bagel chips, slice leftover bagels horizontally into thin slices.
- Brush with butter or margarine on one side.
- Lay (butter side up) on ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 325°F for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
RAISIN BREAD - BREAD MACHINE
I like store bought cinnamon raisin bread for breakfast, so I started making this to save some dough. Get it, dough? Hahaha...heh. 1.5 lb loaf, from my fave bread book. I think I will add more cinnamon in the future, though this bread is OMG delicious when you spread butter on top and sprinkle a mixture of cinnamon sugar on top, then microwave it for 10-30 seconds. Mmm calories taste so good!

RICH RAISIN AND CRANBERRY LOAF (BREAD MACHINE)
This is an all-time favorite bread recipe and I cannot (darn it!) take credit for it. It comes straight from my bread machine recipe book and is just too special not to share.

Steps:
- 1. OPTIONAL: I like to soak raisins/cranberries in hot water until soft. This will make them plumper and softer and keep fruit on outside of loaf from burning. If you prefer not to do this, mix dried fruit w/ pinch of flour and toss. This will keep fruit from sticking together.
- 2. Place ingredients, in order listed, in bread pan. Select loaf size (2 LB) and crust preference. I use a light setting for a tender loaf. Choose sweet bread program and start bread maker.
- 3. Add fruit when mix-in tone sounds or when appropriate for your maker. When cycle is complete, remove bread from pan to wire rack to cool completely prior to slicing. Take a whiff of that heavenly yeasty cinnamon fragrance and ENJOY!

SUNFLOWER RAISIN WW BREAD - FOR BREAD MACHINE
This was good with pork chops, but would also be great for breakfast. You can, of course, use regular raisins (or even currants), but I like the mellow flavor of golden raisins.

Steps:
- 1. This recipe is for a "2 pound" loaf (even though I doubt it actually weighs two pounds). In other words, if your bread machine isn't designed to process at least 3 1/2 cups of flour, do not use these measurements. Or else make it by hand (bake at 350℉ for about 40 - 55 minutes, depending on your oven). To make this vegan and/or dairy free, use water instead of milk.
- 2. Prep the raisins: If it's cold and your raisins are hard, pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to soften, either before or after you measure them (whichever makes them easier to handle). Next, drop about a tablespoon of your all purpose flour into a small bowl with the measured raisins and break them apart, making sure they're separated into individual raisins and evenly coated in flour. Reserve.
- 3. Make sure the paddle is on its post, then add all ingredients to your bread machine pan in the order listed unless your machine's instructions state otherwise. Using a stiff rubber spatula, mix the floating dry ingredients a little to distribute the yeast granules, seeds, and raisins (if you aren't using the delayed timer setting, it's OK if a little moisture gets into dry ingredients).
- 4. Put the pan in the bread machine, close the lid, set the program to either Basic or Sweet (if using the Basic cycle, I recommend using the light crust setting), then press Start.
- 5. After 7 - 10 minutes of mixing, check consistency of the dough. I use a stiff rubber spatula to aid in the mixing process during this time, making sure no flour is stuck in pan corners, and that the ball of dough tumbles completely over regularly (this doesn't matter later in the kneading process, but it's important here). It takes my machine 15 - 25 paddle revolutions for the dough ball to make a complete tumble (some machines need more help than others). If your dough is in the Goldilocks zone, you don't have to do anything now. Move on to the next step! However... IF the dough is STIFF with cracks and/or crumbly after 10ish minutes, add liquid by tablespoon until it's elastic and holds together (allow each tablespoon to mix for at least 90 seconds before adding another). Use the rubber spatula to help the dough mass turn over and pick up liquid. IF the dough is SLACK or loose and a thin layer remains on the bottom of pan under the turning paddle, add flour by tablespoon until dough picks up into a solid, elastic ball (again, allow each tablespoon to mix for at least 90 seconds before adding another). Use the rubber spatula to steer the dough toward picking up the flour, making sure the ball fully turns over several times. If in doubt, it's better to have a little too much liquid than flour. A little too much liquid* can cause your loaf to fall, but you can still eat it. Too little liquid makes the loaf inedible because there isn't enough moisture to make a dough and wake the yeast. * A LOT "too much liquid" can cause the loaf to remain uncooked in the middle. It may still be savable by toasting individual slices, but probably it's best to serve it to the birds once it's finally cooked. Or maybe dry it afterward and use in your turkey stuffing. Hmmm, now there's an interesting thought....
- 6. Once you have an elastic, malleable ball of dough, close the lid and let the machine do its thing.
- 7. When machine tells you the bread is done,* press Stop (if your machine has a keep-warm feature), open the lid, allow the bread to rest and cool for a few minutes, then, using hot pads, take out the pan, remove the loaf and allow to rest on a cooling rack until you can touch it without hurting yourself. Do not cover unless loaf is in danger of being attacked by wildlife. Or impatient male household members. Once it's cool enough to touch, use a plastic fast-food knife to cut out the paddle if it's still stuck in the bottom of the loaf. Never use metal against the non-stick surface of anything in your bread pan -- it is very delicate and easily scratched! *You can let this sit for quite awhile after it's done. Just remember, the longer it sits, the more the loaf will sweat -- even with a warming feature -- thus softening the crust.
- 8. Experts will tell you to allow the loaf to cool fully before slicing. Silly experts. Get yourself a good bread slicing knife and cut into that bad boy, slather some butter on a slice and eat until you pop! Honey butter is especially good on this bread.
- 9. NOTE about using Delayed Bake Timer: I have not used this recipe with the delayed bake feature. Experts will tell you not to use this feature with dairy products, but I say fooey on that as sour dairy adds massive flavor to bread. I would go for it! (See Disclaimer below.) If your milk is far enough gone to become poisonous (i.e. make you sick) after only 13 hours on the counter (the usual maximum time delay available for bread machines), it probably wasn't safe to drink in the first place. The same for yogurt, sour cream, buttermilk, and (especially) all cheeses. Unless you buy directly from a dairy farmer, in the USA all commercial dairy products are pasteurized for safety and should be fine if left at room temperature for several hours. If liquid they will likely get sour, and may even curdle, but they shouldn't turn poisonous. IMHO. OFFICIAL DISCLAIMER I am not an expert of any kind. These are just my opinions based on reading and personal experience. Use my advice at your own risk.
Tips:
- Use fresh, active yeast for the best results.
- If you don't have a bread machine, you can make this recipe 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.
- For a sweeter bread, add 1/4 cup of sugar to the dough.
- For a more flavorful bread, use a variety of raisins, such as golden raisins, black raisins, and currants.
- Store the finished bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
This raisin bread recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that's perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With the help of a bread machine, you can have fresh, homemade bread in no time. So next time you're in the mood for something sweet and satisfying, give this recipe a try!
