We've been meaning to try raisin bread for a while, this was the week!
As per usual, we decided to stick to the basics for our first trial and not get too fancy. So we used the bread mix from our first attempt which made an average white loaf.
Our additions to the bread mix were: 1T margarine, 1t mixed spice, 1 pinch of salt and 1cup of sultanas.
We used the Basic raisin setting on the bread maker. This means we could put the raisins in the little tray at the top so that they would be added at exactly the right moment.
We have the delay timer perfected now and we woke up to the most amazing smell this morning.
And here is the result!
The bread mix worked better this time (no large bubble at the top) but we still think there is a bit too much yeast, it makes a very light loaf which is not exactly right for fruit toast.
But, it was very very tasty. I think next time I would add a little more spice and a few more raisins. I would also love to try it with dates (but Tom might not be so happy about that). There are a few recipes which use eggs and milk but we weren't able to use the overnight timer for them, so we'll try that next time.
