My girls think this is the best raisins bread they have ever had come out of
a bread machine. We do the 2 lb loaf which incidentially doesnt last long.
Ill give the ratio for the 1 /2 lb and 2 lb loaf. The bread in the
toastmaster is light, fine grained and very moist .Slices best when given
time to cool... but not in my family:)
It should come out well in other abms which handle large recipes.
Dont bother to add a dough conditioner since the lemon juice conditions the
dough. I experimented and did add 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 vinegar ( both acidic ) which helps in the
structure of the loaf of bread. And their comment about cinnamon: dont add
more than instructed since cinnamon ( as well as garlic ) inhibits the
growth of yeast. Thought Id pass it on to those who didnt know
