It is lighter in color and flavor. Full molasses, also known as dark molasses, comes from the second boiling and is darker, thicker and less sweet. Either molasses will work in this bread, but the mild molasses will give you a spicier flavor that will not overshadow the ginger and cinnamon.Sandwich BoardAn Open-Face Pear Sandwich is a tasty treat to eat with a comforting cup of steaming tea. Spread a slice of Gingery Bread with softened cream cheese, and layer with thin slices of fresh pear. If you are a true ginger lover, try sprinkling some finely chopped crystallized ginger over the tip. This sandwich also is good with sliced apples.From "Betty Crocker's Best Bread Machine Cookbook, The Goodness of Homemade Bread the Easy Way." Text Copyright 1999 General Mills, Inc.

Steps:

• Place the water, sugar and yeast in the pan of the bread machine. Let the yeast dissolve and foam for 10 minutes. Add the oil, flour and salt to the yeast. Select Basic or White Bread setting, and press Start.

Steps:

• Follow instructions for your bread machine.
• My machine instructs to measure ingredients in the order listed into the baking pan. (I combine the milk and egg and microwave on high for about 30 seconds before adding to the pan.).
• Insert baking pan into machine and secure pan.
• Select rapid bake setting for a 2 pound loaf.
• When cycle ends, I put the loaf into a large zup lock bag, seal the bag, and place on wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Steps:

• Put ingredients into bread machine in order listed, except the raisins. Leave those aside.
• Set machine for 2 pound loaf, white bread, light crust.
• Add raisins when the machine tells you to. (It should beep -- if it starts talking to you, you've got some real problems.).
• Note: I used dried fruits not just raisins and found they added a little too much moisture because I soaked them. During the second rise I added a little more flour until the dough no longer stuck to the side of the pan.

Steps:

• In bread machine pan, place all ingredients in order suggested by manufacturer. Select basic bread setting. Choose crust color and loaf size if available. , Bake according to bread machine directions (check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or flour if needed).
