"I was looking for something interesting to try in my new bread machine and found this. It smells amazing and makes fantastic french toast!"

 

• Ready In: 3hrs 10mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Yields: 10 slices
• Serves: 10-12

ingredients

• 3⁄4 cup milk
• 1⁄4 cup molasses
• 1 egg
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 3 1⁄3 cups bread flour
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 3⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 3⁄4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 3⁄4 teaspoon ginger
• 2 1⁄4 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 1⁄3 cup raisins

directions

1. Put ingredients into bread machine in order listed, except the raisins. Leave those aside.
2. Set machine for 2 pound loaf, white bread, light crust.
3. Add raisins when the machine tells you to. (It should beep -- if it starts talking to you, you've got some real problems.).
4. Note: I used dried fruits not just raisins and found they added a little too much moisture because I soaked them. During the second rise I added a little more flour until the dough no longer stuck to the side of the pan.

A delightful breakfast bread. Delicately spiced, tender crumb. Toasted with a little butter is perfect....or maybe a little apple butter would be good. Love
