No. 3 --> Start with 1 3/4 cups of water. It really depends on your flour and some flours don't like 2 cups of water. The first time you make this, I recommend adding 1 3/4 cup of water and then checking the dough during the first mixing cycle. Check the troubleshooting guide below.

No. 4 --> This recipe makes a delicious sandwich bread, and can be adapted to make cinnamon raisin bread, or my cardamom cranberry bread, or even everything bagel bread, if you like! If you're interested in a whole wheat bread recipe for the bread maker, I've got one of those too.

If this is your first time using this recipe, I highly recommend checking in on the recipe while it's 10 or so minutes into the first kneading cycle. At this point, you'll be able to tell if your dough is forming a nice ball and pulling away from the edges.

If the dough is too wet at this time, and not holding a ball, add a couple tablespoons of flour. If the dough is too dry and looking shaggy, add a tablespoon of water.

Homemade bread doesn't keep long. It doesn't keep any better in the fridge either. We often cut our loaves in half and freeze half and keep the remainder out on the counter. Freezing as soon as the bread has been cut and cooled usually gives me better results.

* This bread recipe makes a 2 LB loaf. Please double check that your bread machine has a 2 LB capacity before making this recipe!

*When measuring flour, I use the scoop and level method - Using a flour scoop to fill a measuring cup, then level with the back of a knife. Don't sift the flour first! Consistent measuring is definitely important in consistency between loaf to loaf!

*I've edited the amount of water in this recipe from 2 cups to 1 3/4 to 2 cups. I've gotten some feedback that this results in a pretty wet dough, I've not had that problem in either of my bread machines, which likely due to the protein level of everyone's flour. Please check the notes above in the A Word On Flour section OR start with the lesser amount of water and keep an eye on the bread as it mixes and you'll know if you need more.

Bread Machine Cinnamon Raisin Bread (golden Raisins)

Hah! Glad to hear you like it. You an try reducing the yeast by a small amount to see if that helps!

Can anyone help me figure out what I’m doing wrong, I follow the bread recipe precisely and all looks to be going well, however at some point in the baking process my bread completely collapses; goes from almost touching the top of the machine lid to becoming concave in the center. This results in a grainy, unusable loaf :( this keeps happening to me with different recipes so I know it’s not the recipe but something I am doing. Any feedback is appreciated!

Hey Summer, collapsing can be a sign of a bit too much liquid or yeast, you can try to dial back both by a smidge. I'd reduce the liquid quantity by 2 tablespoons and the yeast by 1/4 teaspoon and see if that helps?

Warm Water: When making bread it’s best to have all ingredients at room temperature to start. The water should be a bit above that, at 110°F/45°C, in order to activate the yeast.

You Can Sift the Flour: Sifting flour before making bread with it helps to aerate it, and will make a fluffier, less dense bread. It’s not necessary for success, but is an option.

Learn Your Machine: Just like Air Fryers and Instant Pots, bread machines will have differences from brand to brand and model to model. The good news is that most of the household bread makers work in generally the same way, but if you are having trouble with your machine, feel free to reach out, or search out others using that specific machine on the web.
