Oatmeal Cinnamon Raisin Bread

All right, I heard you readers moaning that I did not give a breadmaker recipe. We. here is it.

All one has to do is place the ingredients into the bread machine and about 2-3 hours later you have a tasty, hot and delicious loaf of bread. Some of the bread machines even have timers (mine has), so you can prepare the bread machine the night before and when you wake your favorite loaf of bread is ready for breakfast.

Ingredients:
1 cup milk
1/2 cup applesauce
2 tbsp. oil
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 tbsp. sugar
2 tbsp. brown sugar
1 tsp salt
2 cups oats
2 1/2 cups bread flour
2 tbsp. vital gluten
1 tbsp. cinnamon
2 tsp instant yeast
1 cup raisins

Method:

Place all ingredients (except raisins) into bread machine by order of recipe. Set bread machine to a medium crust and use the sweet bread setting (if you have one on your bread machine). Add raisins after first kneading. After baking remove from pan and cool on a wire rack. Makes a 2 lb. loaf.

This Oatmeal Cinnamon Raisin Bread is a hearty bread with a wonderful oatmeal and cinnamon flavor. Perfect for toast or just eating plain with a little slab of butter.
