Ingredients

1 1/2 Cups Milk (lukewarm)
4 Tablespoons Butter (sliced & softened)
2 Teaspoons Molasses
3 Cups Bread Flour
1 Cup Oatmeal (one minute oatmeal)
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
1 1/2 Teaspoons Salt
1 1/2 Teaspoons Bread Machine Yeast
1 Cup Raisins (golden raisins)

Instructions

Bread machine settings – 2 pound loaf, light color and “basic” bread setting.
Unplug the bread machine and remove the bread pan from the bread machine. This prevents any ingredients added to the bread pan from accidently spilling into the bread machine.
Pour the milk into the bread pan and then add the other ingredients (except the golden raisins). Place the bread machine yeast in last and the yeast should not touch the liquid or salt (until the bread machine is turned on and the ingredients start to be mixed together). FYI - Do not place the salt where you plan to add the yeast.
Place the bread pan back into the bread machine and plug in the bread machine.
Enter the correct settings into the bread machine (i.e. 2 pound, light color and basic) and press the start button.
After the bread machine has finished its FIRST kneading cycle (and before it has started the second kneading cycle), add the golden raisins.
When the bread machine has finished baking the bread, unplug the bread machine. 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 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.
