Directions
-
Add water, egg, buttermilk powder, sugar, salt, and yeast to the bread machine pan in the order recommended by your manufacturer.
-
Add flour on top of the liquid ingredients, making sure to cover the yeast completely.
-
Add softened butter or margarine to one corner of the pan.
-
Select the "Dough" setting or "Basic/White" setting with a light crust color.
-
Start the machine and let it knead for about 5 minutes before adding the raisins.
-
When the machine beeps (or after the initial kneading cycle), add the raisins.
-
Allow the machine to complete the rising and baking cycles.
-
Once the cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread from the pan.
-
Place the loaf on a wire cooling rack.
-
Allow the bread to cool for at least 1 hour before slicing to prevent a gummy texture.

Note
For best results, add raisins at the "beep" signal during the kneading cycle to prevent them from being chopped up by the paddle.
If using a rapid-bake setting or a smaller 1-pound loaf machine (such as the Welbilt), reduce the butter to 1 1/2 tablespoons and the raisins to 1/3 cup to accommodate the smaller volume.
This bread is very moist and tender. It is delicious served fresh or toasted with butter.
Store any leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze slices for longer storage.
