Hubby and I made raisin bread this morning in our bread machine. The bread plate is a ceramic plate I made back in 1982. ~
Recipe:
Raisin Bread
1 cup less 1 tablespoon warm water -- (110 degrees)
1 1/2 tablespoons lard
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/2 cup raisins
2 3/4 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Place ingredients in the bread machine pan in the order suggested by the
machine's manufacture. Select the Basic or White Bread setting. There is
no need to select Fruit Bread setting, nor to add the raisins in later.
Start the machine.
After first knead, bread should be smooth, elastic, and dry to touch.
Adjust if necessary with additional flour.
After baking, remove pan immediately. Rest for 10 minutes in the pan.
Remove bread from the pan, and cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before
serving.
Icing is 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla and 1 teaspoon water mixed together and drizzled over it while warm.
This recipe yields a 1 1/2 pound loaf.
ENJOY!!!
