The top of it fell in like a fallen cake. Too dense to cut.

I just purchased a bread machine recently & couldn't wait to try cinnamon raisin bread. This recipe was perfect!! I set my machine on light crust, sweet bread & a 1.5 pound loaf. I didn't have any bread flour so I used all purpose flour & added an extra 1/4 tsp yeast. The loaf turned out to be about 2 pounds but it was so moist & light, it could't have turned out any better. Thanks for the wonderful recipe!!

I also felt the need to add a bit more flour and also more raisins and cinnamon as a personal preference. This turned out wonderfully, very moist and flavorful. I'm making extras to have on hand in the freezer.

I tried the recipie and it was wonderful. I took the advice of other members and I added a little more cinnamon, raisins, and flour and worked really good. The bread was tasty and really soft and moist. For other users: don't pay attention to the bad reviews of the recipie. People who did it probably did not follow the instructions properly. I don't see how you could go wrong if you follow the recipie.

very good. I doubled the cinnamon but my critics thought that it still needed more.

I add a few more raisins just cause we're crazy about them. Also no need to pull bread out immediately. I found it slightly doughy if I did.

This is a good base recipe but I found I have had to make a lot of changes to make the perfect loaf. First off, CUT BACK on the yeast, both times I have made this the bread has risen to the steam vent. I stuck a knife in it it so it would settle back down, which makes a dense loaf (ok - just heavy). I also didnt have honey on hand either time and substituted brown sugar for the honey. I also add 2 additional tblsp of cinnamon and another 1/2 cup of flour. My kids love this bread, but only if spread with butter and a sprinkle of sugar. It is not a real sweet bread but it is flavorful and good toasted with sugar and butter. This is an ok recipe but I think I will keep searching for the perfect one without all the changes/additions/deletions.

Excellent recipe but I also added more cinnamon - a total of about 2 tsp. It looks batter like but turned out great! I took it to work and it has been very popular. I'm making a loaf right now! Very light and airy.

This recipe was DELICIOUS! But, as a previous poster noted, I also had to add an additional 1/4-1/2 cup of flour. Using the original recipe measurements made more of a batter than a dough. I love the honey in this recipe - it really adds a great flavor! Makes a HUGE 2 lb loaf.

Perfect, tender texture, and nice flavor! Came together and rose perfectly. I was able to swap out 1/2 C of the flour with whole wheat flour instead, and it turned out great. I did increase cinnamon to 2 tsp. Thanks!

I was a little bit skeptical about this recipe after reading the reviews, but this loaf turned out great for me! I thought it was one of the best bread machine recipes I have made so far. I did substitute 4 tablespoons of sugar for the honey and I also used 1/2 a teaspoon more of Cinnamon. I loved the texture of the bread and enjoyed the taste as well.

I used 2 cups white flower and one wheat (all a little heaping) and it turned out great. I also used milk and the egg right out of the fridge and it didnt seem to matter. Could use more cinnamon though.

I did this on the delay timer so the kids would have fresh bread in the morning. I put the raisins in on top, careful not to let any touch the yeast so the fruit sugar wouldn't activate it. The raisins were fine and it was good bread, even better toasted. I would like to add more cinnamon, but it too much could cause the yeast not to rise correctly, and rather than throw the ingredients away, we'll just sprinkle some on the the butter after it's toasted.
