Anyway, two weeks ago, while I was on my "detox" I had the BIGGEST cravings for raisin bread. The weird part is I couldn't remember the last time I had had it. Where was that craving coming from?
So once my "detox" was over, what do you think I made?

| Whole wheat raisin bread |
While it satisfied my craving, it could have used more than 1 cup of raisins. The raisins soaked in water an hour before being added into the bread dough, but perhaps a longer soaking time would have made them better.

Hey Dani! Love the post! What kind of bread machine do you have? I have one that has a vertical mixing thing, so it will only make vertical loafs - also, the mixer wont come out, so you have to pick it out of your loaf at the end of baking. I just use it to make the dough, then I bake it in the oven. Looking to upgrade at some point...
ReplyDeleteI think ours makes vertical loaves as well. They come out more like a square rather than a rectangle, but I really can't complain. We have a Magic Chef - it belonged to Tom's grandmother and still works great. However- a brand new machine sounds awfully nice!
