Ingredients
  • 2/3 cup golden raisins
  • 1/4 cup real vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
  • 3 1/2 cups bread flour
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
 
Method

Soak raisins in vanilla extract at least one hour, OR combine raisins and vanilla extract and microwave on HIGH 1 minute. Drain raisins and reserve 1 tablespoon vanilla. Place all ingredients in bread pan, including the reserved 1 tablespoon of vanilla. Select Light Crust setting and press Start. If, after 5-10 minutes the machine is straining a bit, add 1 or 2 tablespoons additional buttermilk until dough is smooth, soft and just slightly tacky. After the baking cycle ends, cool the bread on wire rack 1 hour before slicing.

 
Notes:

This is truly a vanilla raisin loaf. I love raisin bread and this is just different enough to remember its goodness!

 
Number of Servings: 12-16 slices
