BREAD MACHINE GINGERBREAD LOAF

Steps:

• Put ingredients into bread machine in order listed, except the raisins. Leave those aside.
• Set machine for 2 pound loaf, white bread, light crust.
• Add raisins when the machine tells you to. (It should beep -- if it starts talking to you, you've got some real problems.).
• Note: I used dried fruits not just raisins and found they added a little too much moisture because I soaked them. During the second rise I added a little more flour until the dough no longer stuck to the side of the pan.

• When cycle ends, I put the loaf into a large zup lock bag, seal the bag, and place on wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
