Directions
-
Ensure the water is at room temperature or warm it slightly in the microwave for 60 seconds if using a bread machine.
-
Place the water and butter or margarine into the bread machine pan.
-
Add the bread flour, sugar, salt, yeast, and vital wheat gluten to the pan, ensuring the yeast and salt are not touching directly.

-
Press the start button to begin the mixing and kneading cycle.

While the dough mixes, combine the raisins and ground cinnamon in a small bowl until evenly coated.
-
About 3 minutes into the mixing cycle, add one-third of the cinnamon-coated raisins to the pan.
-
Wait another 3 minutes, then add the second portion of raisins.
-
After 3 more minutes, add the remaining raisins to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the loaf.
