Cinnamon Raisin Bread, Bread Machine Recipe

1 cup water
2 tablespoons room temperature butter (I happened to use salted)
3 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoon cinnamon
(dash nutmeg and ground ginger)
3 cups flour (I used 1 1/2 C Pillsbury all purpose and 1 1/2 C King Arthur unbleached bread flour)
2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
3/4 cup raisins, soaked in hot water and drained before using

The recipe makes a 1.5 lb loaf. I accidentally pressed the 2 lb loaf setting on my Cuisinart bread maker, though, and the result was perfect. Nice rise. Light texture, but not too aerated. Soft. Slightly chewy crust. Excellent recipe.

In a Cuisinart, add ingredients in the order listed, but reserve the raisins to add separately when the add-in beeps sound.
