Round two for raisin bread is a win


After my first loaf of raisin bread was a success, I was excited to bring one for my Dear Mother's birthday.  I used the same recipe as last time and even remembered to soak the raisins for half an hour or so.  I also actually added them at the "add-in" beep and I think they were slightly less smashed, as far as I could tell from the outside.  This time I skipped the whole wheat flour and used all white flour as called for.  Using a medium crust only seemed to make the bottom half darker instead of the crispy top I was looking for.  Not the most beautiful look but I've definitely seen uglier loaves.  Unfortunately, I never heard if the bread was edible (I forgot to ask) but no news of food poison, either!.  Happy Birthday!
  • Recipe: Cinnamon Raisin Bread for the Bread Machine on food.com

  • Next time: One of the reviews suggested Brown sugar, mmmm...
