Tired of those store bought brands of bread that don't live up to the claims on the package? Here is a recipe for cinnamon raisin bread that has a hard time lasting around my house.

Requires a bread machine, one and a half pound loaf.

3 cups bread flour
3/4 cup raisins(whole)
1/2 cup raisins (chopped)
2 teaspoons wheat gluten (my insurance policy for a good rise)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup oil
3/4 cup water
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons yeast

Start with all ingredients at room temp. Combine all liquid ingredients and place in machine.

Add flour, gluten, the whole raisins, salt, sugar, cinnamon, and finally the yeast with a little divit in the middle of the pile and set the machine on bread basic with the setting on light.

Take the chopped raisins in a small bowl add 1 tablespoon cinnamon and 1 tablespoon sugar and work them together very well until all the cinnamon and sugar are completely stuck to the raisins, wait for the beep on your machine to add the raisin mixture. In about 3 1/2 hours you have the cinnamon raisin bread to die for! This recipe will make the whole house smell wonderful.
