My Niece had this bread mixer, she used to use it A LOT, back when they were really concentrating on holistic/organic make your own lifestyle.
Then he had the wreck that left him paralyzed (and now he just died after 17 yrs,) and that machine has languished in her basement until yesterday.
Using the same recipe I've been using (from the back of the flour bag), but because the guy at the store where I buy my wine wanted it, I'm modifying on the fly
The raisins are added to both batches, but for some reason the second one made less dough.
I DID add more water to the first one because it wouldn't loosen up.
Hoping this all turns out well
In batch one, there is not only the raisins, but Cinnamon and Ginger powder
I'm counting on the kneading and rolling to mix these spices into the dough
The second batch doesn't have the spices
First batch has risen enough to be kneaded and divided now
I was trying to be creative and put some slices in top, but that didn't work out so well.
Crusted the top with course Turbinado Cane sugar
↑That batch is in the oven now↑
While ↓THIS batch↓
is rising in the loaf pans, I brushed them with butter mixed with the last of the orange marmalade that I had on hand
I would have liked to put all 4 loaves in at once, but then one batch would have risen longer than the other
This batch was looking good to me, so I swapped them out, however when I went to test, the first batch was still very soft and doughy in the center, so it is back in with number 2
The larger of the two original loaves remains doughy in the center
I will keep that one for myself ↓Loaves 3 and 4 are out and cooling↓
I CAN say that the machine sped up the process and made for less cleanup, believe it or not.

Well, you came out looking less messy than the guy on the Muppet Show! I had a bread making machine once, the kind you bake the loaf in the same pan. I didn't like the way they came out, so I didn't use it very much. It was a yard sale purchase, and I sold it at a yard sale. I resumed baking my usual recipe, which makes 6 loaves of basic white bread and bakes in the oven. Your loaves certainly have interesting ingredients!
Yay! 🤗

I got it tho
I love fresh bread, I like the way you have experimented with different ingredients.
Homemade raisin bread
Wow
Thanks Robin, it is a learning experience for sure.
I've gotta quit tho, I can't eat bread fast enough for it to not mold before I get to them.
Freezing works but they end up being rather dried out from that as well
Good morning, Jerry, I know what you mean with the bread going moldy or dry, it's fresh bread no preservatives. If I am gonna make a batch, which for me is 3 loaves, I give one to my cousin Lauren (our egg lady) and our friends across the street.
There is one bread I make in the summer, zucchini bread with nuts, raisins cranberry, whatever I have and those freeze excellent. We use a vacuum sealer, and they stay perfect for months.
From one bread maker to another, let the flour fly.
