Here's one of my faves. Just made it yesterday with my son:

Cinnamon Raisin Bread (1.5 lb)

1 1/4 c. water
2 T. margarine or butter, softened
3 1/4 c. flour (I use all whole wheat and it works great, but you can mix 1/2 and 1/2 white and wheat too)
1/4 c. sugar
1 1/2 t. salt
1 t. ground cinnamon
2 t. yeast

3/4 cup raisins

Measure and add wet ingredients to pan

Measure and add dry ingredients to pan (except yeast)

Use your finger to form a well in the flour where you will pour the yeast. Yeast must NEVER come in contact with a liquid when you are adding ingredients. Measure the yeast and carefully pour it in the well

From here on, our machines might differ, but set it to a sweet bread setting (or white bread) and start it.

Put in the raisins after it has kneaded for a while. Sprinke in a few at a time until they're incorporated.

Hope you enjoy this.

ooh thanks for that one. mine actually has a yeast dispenser. i'll have to try that though. sounds yummy!

i visted HBH the other day and i skimmed through the bread stuff - it seems those were for 2lb loaves....i need to see if there's an easy conversion to my size machine.

I do make my own once in awhile, but sometimes I buy the mixes when they are on sale for 99cents each. I love to get the hawaiian bread mix, and add in fresh cooked ground sausage and chunks of cheddar cheese.....it is soo yummy!!

Maple Frosting...
