VANILLA RAISIN BREAD (ABM)

Steps:

• Select basic or SWEET setting.
• Special Notes: The recipe calls for 2 tsp of yeast, but I find this way too much yeast- blows the top off the machine!
• This makes a 1 1/2 lb loaf which basically fills my 2 lb machine.
• DO use pure vanilla extract for best results.
• If you don't have the time to soak the raisins ahead of time (I never do) just microwave the raisins and vanilla for 1 minute on high or med-high in a micro-safe bowl.
