Ingredients

• 240 ml Milk
• 56 grams Unsalted butter
• 1 large Egg
• 360 grams All-purpose flour or bread flour
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 120 grams Raisins

Directions

Step 1

Add the milk to the bread machine pan first, followed by the unsalted butter (cut into small pieces) and the egg. The liquid ingredients should be at room temperature for optimal results.

Step 2

Layer the flour on top of the liquid ingredients, ensuring it covers them completely.

Step 3

Add the granulated sugar, salt, and ground cinnamon to separate corners of the pan, keeping them apart from each other.

Step 4

Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the active dry yeast. Ensure the yeast does not touch the wet ingredients at this stage.

Step 5

Select the 'Sweet Bread' or 'Basic Bread' setting on your bread machine, with a medium crust color if that option is available.

Step 6

When you hear the machine's 'add-ins' signal (usually during the kneading cycle), add the raisins. If your bread machine doesn't have an add-ins signal, add the raisins approximately 10-15 minutes into the kneading process.

Step 7

Let the bread machine complete its cycle, which includes kneading, rising, and baking. This usually takes about 2.5 to 3 hours depending on the model of your bread machine.

Step 8

Once the baking is complete, carefully remove the bread pan from the machine using oven mitts and allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.

Step 9

Gently remove the bread from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
