Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 cup raisins
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons butter, softened
• 2 tablespoons shortening
• 1 ½ cups warm water
• 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 4 cups bread flour

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

If your machine has a Fruit setting, add the raisins at the signal, or about 5 minutes before the kneading cycle has finished.

Step 3

Place water, milk, shortening, salt, flour, sugar and yeast in the pan of the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select cycle; press Start.

Step 4

Take dough out after first kneading cycle has finished. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll out into a rectangle. Spread dough with butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Roll dough, and divide into two parts. Place loaves in two lightly greased 9x5 inch bread pans. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Step 5

Brush tops of risen loaves with melted butter and bake in preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, until crust is brown and loaves sound hollow when tapped.
