Step 1

Whisk together flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl.

Step 2

Place the ingredients, except the raisins, into the pan of a 1 ½ to 2-pound bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer.

Step 3

Select the program for basic white bread. Press Start. When the machine alerts you, or two-thirds through mixing, add the raisins.

Step 4

When the cycle completes, remove the pan from the machine. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Remove the bread from the pan, sometimes this requires a shake to get the bread out of the pan. Set the loaf on a wire rack to cool.

Step 6

Store, in a bread box, bread bag or well wrapped on the counter for 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
