A delightful and easy-to-make bread machine recipe featuring a cinnamon swirl and the wholesome goodness of oatmeal.
Add the warm water, salt, brown sugar, dry milk, rolled oatmeal, and bread flour into the bread machine pan in the order recommended by your machine's manufacturer.
Ensure the water is warm but not hot to activate the yeast properly.
Make a small well in the flour and add the active dry yeast.
Avoid direct contact between the yeast and the salt to ensure proper activation.
Close the bread machine lid and select the 'Sweet Bread' and 'Light Crust' settings.
Refer to your bread machine's manual for the correct settings if unsure.
When the machine beeps for add-ins, add the ground cinnamon, raisins, and chopped walnuts.
Distribute the mix-ins evenly for a consistent flavor throughout the bread.
Let the bread machine complete the cycle and bake the bread.
Avoid opening the lid during baking to maintain an even temperature.
Once done, remove the bread from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Allowing the bread to cool prevents it from becoming gummy when sliced.
Slice and serve the bread. Enjoy it plain or with your favorite spread.
Store leftovers in an airtight container to keep the bread fresh.
