• Ingredients: 12
• Yields: 1 1/2 pound loaf

ingredients

• 1 cup water
• 1⁄3 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons margarine or 2 tablespoons butter, softened
• 2 cups bread flour

directions

1. Measure and add liquid ingredients to the bread pan.
2. Measure and add dry ingredients (except yeast) to the bread pan.
3. Use your finger to form a well (hole) in the flour where you will pour the yeast. Yeast must never come into contact with a liquid when you are adding ingredients. Add yeast to well.
4. If possible, use the 'sweet' setting on your breadmaker.
5. Raisins and walnuts should be added during the kneading cycle. Some breadmakers will beep to tell you when.

This bread had a very nice flavor. It was a bit more dense than I like my bread. I will make it again but next time will increase the yeast a little bit to compensate. Will probably make great toast in the morning. Made for Spring PAC 2010 http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=327498&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

A healthier take on your normal raisin bread. Loved the walnuts in this bread so would actually double the amount next time. Would also double the amount of raisins. (-; Made for PAC Spring 2010. Thanks for posting!
