- For toatmaster place ingredients in order listed ( otherwise follow your manufactures instructions ) except raisins, nuts and cinnamon ! Select sweet bread program. light crust ( I use medium and its fine ). Add in cinnamon, nuts and raisns at the beep ( that would be approx.the last 10 min of the last kneading cycle ). Note: we dont always add in the nuts and just increase the raisins.
- First of all, my machine (a 2 lb Black & Decker) almost stalled because the dough was so stiff with the listed amount of liquid. I added more till the amount of liquid totaled 1 1/2 c.. Even so, the loaf came out with a gnarly top. My instruction book says this is a sign of insufficient liquid. How does one account for the different amounts of liquid required
- Second, the bread did not rise as much as my most successful breads do, and the texture is fairly doughy. Suppose next time I make this, I use 1 1/2 c. plus 1 TBSP liquid; would getting the dough stiffness right also help the amount of rise and texture
- Incidently, I hadn't previously thought of adding the cinnimon with the raisins and nuts, and I found which doing it later leaves nice swirling patterns in the finished bread - kind of attractive.
- Dont bother to add in a dough conditioner since the lemon juice conditions the dough. I experimented and did add in extra powdered dough conditioner and the bread came out too soft and didnt cut well.The Toastmaster breadmaker uses 1 tsp lemon juice in all their bread recipes.You may want to try this with any of your abm recipes. Their bread booklet suggests lemon juice or possibly vinegar ( both acidic ) that helps in the structure of the loaf of bread. And their comment about cinnamon: dont add in more than instructed since cinnamon ( as well as garlic ) inhibits the growth of yeast. Thought Id pass it on to those who didnt know
