Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine the vinegar and the milk. Let stand for at least 15 minutes or until the mixture thickens.

Add the vinegar mixture, brown sugar, egg, butter, salt, molasses, bread flour, baking soda, caraway seeds and yeast in the order directed by your bread machine's manufacturer.

Step 3

Set machine to basic cycle (fruit bread, white bread, etc depending on your bread machine), medium crust setting. Add the raisins when indicated to by your bread machine's manufacturer.
