Total Time: 3 hrs 10 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 3 hrs

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

Recipe

• 1 put ingredients into bread machine in order listed, except the raisins. leave those aside.
• 2 set machine for 2 pound loaf, 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.
