Raisin Bread

For a quick snack, nothing is better than a slice of this delicate raisin bread with a hint of cinnamon on a chilly fall afternoon. With a bread machine doing all the work, just sit back and relax to enjoy a good book and appreciate whoever invented this wonderful machine, making life truly simple.  
Ingredients:
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
2 tbs brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbs butter
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 cup raisins
2 cups bread flour +2 tbs additional flour, if needed
1 1/2 tsp active dry yeast

Directions:
Place all the ingredients in the bread pan machine in the order listed above or follow the instruction manual of your machine. Choose the light crust button and press start.
I like to use my oven to bake bread, so I select the dough button and press start. The machine will mix, knead, and finish the dough for the first rise. After rising, remove the dough from the bread pan. Shape dough into the same shape as the loaf pan.

Lightly butter or spray dough with oil. I use a 9" x 5" loaf pan for this recipe.

Cover with a kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for 40 minutes or until the dough is double in size.

Bake in a preheated oven set to 350° for 20 to 30 minutes.
