Ingredients

• 200 ml Milk
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 1 Egg
• 3 cups Bread flour
• 4 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2.5 teaspoons Dry yeast
• 0.75 cup Raisins

Directions

Step 1

Start by assembling all your ingredients at room temperature, as this helps the dough rise properly in the bread machine.

Step 2

Pour the milk into the bread machine's baking pan. Add the vanilla extract and the butter. Ensure the butter is in small pieces to help it incorporate evenly.

Step 3

Crack the egg into the pan, ensuring no shell bits are present.

Step 4

Add the dry ingredients next: bread flour, sugar, and salt. Spread these evenly across the surface to avoid direct contact between the yeast and the wet ingredients during initial mixing.

Step 5

Make a small well in the center of the dry ingredients and sprinkle the dry yeast into the well.

Step 6

Choose the 'Sweet Bread' or 'Basic Bread' setting on your bread machine. Set the crust color (light or medium works well for this bread) and the loaf size according to your machine's instructions (typically 1.5 to 2 lbs). Start the machine.

Step 7

After the first kneading cycle, when you hear the signal or beep for add-ins (usually 20-30 minutes in), add the raisins. This ensures they distribute evenly in the dough and don’t get mashed in the initial kneading.

Step 8

Once the bread machine completes its baking cycle, carefully remove the bread pan using oven mitts or a towel (it will be very hot). Turn the pan upside down to release the bread onto a cooling rack.

Step 9

Allow the bread to cool completely (at least 30 minutes) before slicing. This helps the texture settle and prevents crumbling.

Step 10

Slice and serve the bread plain, toasted, or with butter. Store any remaining bread in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze slices for longer storage.
