Ingredients
- 200 ml Whole milk
- 50 g Unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg
- 50 g Brown sugar
- 400 g Bread flour
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp Ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp Mixed spice (or pumpkin pie spice)
- 75 g Raisins or currants
- 2 tsp Active dry yeast
Directions
Step 1
Ensure your bread machine is clean and ready for use.
Step 2
In a microwave or small saucepan, gently warm the milk until lukewarm (about 37°C/100°F). Do not overheat.
Step 3
Add the milk, butter, and beaten egg to the bread machine pan.
Step 4
Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the liquid ingredients.
Step 5
Add the bread flour, ensuring it is spread out evenly across the liquid base to prevent premature yeast activation.
Step 6
Sprinkle the salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and mixed spice over the flour layer.
Step 7
Make a small well in the center of the flour mound and add the active dry yeast.
Step 8
Set the bread machine to the 'Sweet' or 'Basic' bread cycle, choosing a medium crust setting if available.
Step 9
When the machine signals (usually during the kneading phase), add the raisins or currants.
Step 10
Allow the bread machine to complete the cycle and bake the loaf fully.
Step 11
Once the baking cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread pan using oven mitts and turn the loaf out onto a wire rack to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
Step 12
Serve warm or at room temperature with butter or your favorite spread.
