Bread Machine – Cranberry & Golden Raisin Bread Recipe

This cranberry & golden raisin bread machine recipe produces a semi-sweet homemade bread that can be used for breakfast (i.e. great with jam) or as a tasty sandwich bread. It is also an attractive bread because the yellow color of the golden raisins contrasts nicely with the darker cranberries.

This bread is a tasty way to secretly add some fruit into your family’s lunches. In addition, you are sneaking in healthy oatmeal fiber too! 🙂 If you would like a breakfast bread made with golden raisins, you might also like to try our Golden Raisin Cinnamon Bread Recipe.

Since this raisin bread recipe is done in a bread machine, it is simple & easy to make. It should take you only 5 minutes or so to prepare and then you let the bread machine do the rest of the work. For more great recipes, please visit Bread Dad’s main Bread Machine Recipes section. Bread Dad also has a printable and “pin-able” recipe at the bottom of the page.

Cranberry & Golden Raisin Bread Machine Recipe – Ingredients

• 1 1/3 Cups – Water (warm)
• 4 Tablespoons – Butter (sliced)
• 3 Cups – Flour
• 1 Cup – Old Fashioned Oatmeal (not instant oatmeal)
• 1/3 Cup – Brown Sugar
• 1 Teaspoon – Salt
• 4 Tablespoons – Dried Cranberries
• 4 Tablespoons – Golden Raisins
• 2 Teaspoons – Bread Machine Yeast

Cranberry & Golden Raisin Bread Machine Recipe – Instructions

• Bread machine settings – 2 pound loaf, light color and “basic” bread setting.
• Starting with the water, you should add all of the ingredients (except the cranberries & golden raisins) into the bread machine “bucket” (loaf pan).
• Start the machine going after checking the settings.
• After the bread machine has finished its first kneading cycle (and before it has started the second kneading cycle), add the cranberries and golden raisins.
• When the bread machine has finished baking the bread, you should remove the bread and place it on a cooling rack. Use oven mitts when removing the bread machine container (bread loaf pan) as it will be very hot!
• After removing the bread, don’t forget to remove the mixing paddle if it is stuck in the bread. Use oven mitts as the mixing paddle will be very hot coming out of the bread machine. Or wait until the bread is completely cooled and then remove the mixing paddle.
• In our Sunbeam bread machine, the baking takes about 3 hours for a 2 pound bread at the light color & basic bread settings. However, some machines can differ and you don’t want to be away from home when the bread machine “finished” alarm goes off! Your bread machine should show you the length of the baking time after you have entered the settings into the machine. This will allow you to know when to be in the kitchen in order to remove the bread.
• Before using your bread machine, you should read the bread machine manufacturer’s  instructions in order to use the bread machine effectively and safely.
