A delightful homemade bread with a cinnamon swirl and plump raisins, perfect for breakfast or a snack.
Add the warm water, softened butter, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and ground cinnamon to the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer.
Ensure the butter is softened for even mixing and better texture.
Select the 'sweet bread' setting on your bread machine and start the cycle.
Check the dough consistency after a few minutes of mixing; it should form a smooth ball.
When the machine signals for add-ins, add the plump raisins evenly.
Soak the raisins beforehand to make them juicier and prevent them from drying out during baking.
Once the bread is baked, carefully remove it from the machine and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to maintain its structure and texture.
