Gingered Spice Bread ( Breadmaker 1 1/2 Lb. Loaf)

Mercy's Note:

This recipe comes from Fleischmann's yeast company. It is delicious with honey butter and would make a great loaf of raisin bread!

Outstanding! Loved the ginger flavor. I added raisins which gave the bread character. This is one of the best bread recipes I have tried.

This was lovely with butter...I used a whole packet of yeast and it worked well. I think I'll also add raisins next time. Thanks for posting the recipe!

I used the medium crust color setting. we didn't have any cloves, I added nutmeg in it's place. Also instead of regular milk I used powdered buttermilk, that I added water to. The bread turned out really well. It tasted great to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
