Ingredients

Directions

  1. Add water, butter, sugar, salt, cinnamon, bread flour, dry milk, and yeast to the bread machine pan in the order recommended by your manufacturer.
  2. Select the "Sweet Bread" or "Dough" cycle on your bread machine.
  3. When the machine beeps to indicate the "raisin" or "fruit" addition time (usually near the end of the first knead), add the dried cranberries.
  4. Allow the machine to complete the kneading, rising, and baking cycles.
  5. Once the baking cycle is complete, remove the loaf from the pan immediately and transfer it to a wire rack.
  6. Let the bread cool completely before slicing to ensure the crumb sets properly.
