the recipe was excellent. I did not need to make any adaptions. Will make it many more times

This is my new standard raisin bread recipe!! It rose nicely, and the taste & texture were wonderful! I added a teaspoon of cinnamon, and used quick oats. I added the oats in step 1 instead of adding them later with the raisins. I set the bread machine for the 'Dough' cycle, then kneaded the dough and placed it in a greased loaf pan to rise. (By the way, it was easy to handle, and I didn't even bother flouring the counter!) After it was risen, I baked it in a 385 F oven for about 24 minutes. When cooled, I cut into slices. It was easy to slice without 'caving in'. The bread was soft and moist, with a crisp crust. Delicious! This would also make an awesome regular white loaf without the addition of raisins! Thanks for posting this recipe, Capncrunch!

This is a delightful bread! The raisins and honey add just the right amount of sweetness to this loaf. I used Quaker Quick-1 Minute Oats, as this is all I had on hand, which gave this bread a denser, chewy texture. Very, very nice! I will enjoy this as toast with cinnamon and sugar in the morning! Thank you so much, Capncrunch!
