Fantastic Cinnamon Raisin Bread

The title says it all. this is so good. this is a sweet bread, great for breakfast or snack. i must warn you, it touched the top of my breadmaker. it is too good not to share. i changed another recipe and added some things. my additions were the raisins and cinnamon. it origially was suppose to make a 1 1/2 lb. Loaf. i didn't think the raisons and cinnamon would have add that much, but i guess it did. you might want to adjust to make a 1 1/2lb. Loaf because i will list this as a 2 lb. Loaf. it is so good! it knead the heck out of the raisins so there is little bits all through the bread. chewy, sweet and moist. i used sugar free syrup to cut down on sugar. i hope you enjoy it as much as my family does. please leave feedback.

Steps

In bread machine pan , place ingredients in order given , except raisins and yeast.

Circle inside of pan with raisins.

Make a well in flour and pour in yeast.

Bake on white cycle.

My dough looked fine when kneading and then look almost like a batter when it started to rise and was very sticky.

I had to leave the house at this point and expected it to be a flop.

When i came home and it had touched the top , i thought it was going to be raw and would have to be thrown away.

But to my suprise it tasted fantastic.
