Measure all ingredients except raisins precisely and add them in the order recommended by your bread machine manufacturer. Typically, liquids go first, followed by dry ingredients, and yeast on top.
Select the 'Basic' or 'Sweet Bread' cycle on your bread machine. Set the crust color to your desired level (light, medium, or dark).
Start the bread machine cycle. Monitor the dough after the first few minutes of kneading to ensure it forms a smooth ball. If it seems too dry, add water, one teaspoon at a time. If itβs too wet, add flour, one teaspoon at a time.
When the machine indicates (usually by a beep) to add mix-ins, add the raisins and let the machine incorporate them into the dough evenly.
Once the baking cycle is complete, remove the bread from the bread pan immediately to prevent it from becoming soggy. Let the bread cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
Store the bread in an airtight container or bag at room temperature for up to three days, or refrigerate to extend its shelf life.
