This bread was amazing! It tasted just like the raisin bread you buy at the store with the red package. Yummy! I did cut it down to 11 servings as I only have a 1 and 1/2 pound bread maker. I doubled the amount of cinnamon and I used sugar instead of honey. I also used olive oil instead of butter because I don't like using butter for anything if I don't have to. My bread did not rise but it did not effect the taste. That was my fault though. I used cold soy milk instead of at room temperature or warm. I don't know what I was thinking. I am going to make it again this weekend I think because my sister was on vacation when I made it and she just has to try it. My family also raved about it. Thanks for the great recipe!

Great bread.Very tasty with a nice texture. Once again I have to play with it once I try the original. You can substitute 6 tablespoons of whole ground flaxmeal for the butter.If you have time, hold the raisins and cinnamon until after the first rise. Toss the raisins and cinnamon together in a bowl. Roll the dough out to 10x15, sprinkle the raisin mixture evenly and roll the dough up from the long edge. Using dental floss or thread, slice the rolled dough into 1"slices. Place them, cut side down into a pan sprayed with PAM. Cover and let rise for 20' and bake for 20-25'at 375'. Lovely sweet rolls!

This is surprisingly good. The bread rises well, keeps for days and has a very nice flavour. The only bad thing about it is the crust, even on the light setting it tends to taste burnt, but that certainly doesn't put me off making it. For an interesting variation, try replacing the soy milk with Earl Grey tea and soaking the raisins in it for an hour beforehand. Yummy.
