Cinnamon Raisin Bread Sticksbread Machine Recipes

Steps:

• Add all the ingredients in order given except the raisins.
• Add raisins in on the "add in" beep.
• Bake on "sweet bread" setting.

Steps:

• Place ingredients EXCEPT FOR THE CINNAMON, RAISINS AND WALNUTS in the bread machine in the order your ABM recommends (mine recommends adding them in the order I have the ingredients written with water on the bottom and the yeast on the top, however I have been told that other ABM's recommend the dry ingredients first followed by the wet).
• Close lid and turn bread machine on. . . use the "sweet bread" setting and the "light crust" setting.
• When the bread machine beeps, add the cinnamon, raisins and walnuts. Close lid and let the bread machine continue cooking the bread.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Mix the cinnamon into the bread flour.
• Add milk, water, oil, salt and brown sugar into the bread machine. Then add the flour-cinnamon mixture. Lastly add the yeast. (Or add according to your bread machine directions.)
• Set on dough setting and start machine.
• When the machine has done it's magic, take dough out and punch down. Let rest 10 minutes.
• Roll out into a 12" x 8" rectangle. Sprinkle raisins on one half of the dough and gently press in. Fold in half and gently roll and stretch dough back out into a 12" x 8" rectangle. Note: Some bread machines will beep when it is time to add things like raisin to the dough.
• Cut into 10 8-strips. Then pull or gently roll - using your hands, into 12-14" strips. Note: If you want a crisper bread stick, cut into 12 pieces and stretch into 14-16" strips.
• Place on 2 baking sheets that have been lined with parchment paper.
• Bake at 475 degrees for 4 minutes, remove from oven. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees.
• Allow oven to cool to 350 degrees- this takes several minutes depending on your oven. Just before returning bread sticks to oven, brush them lightly with water. (For a sweeter bread stick, sprinkle with raw sugar granules.) Return to 350 degrees oven and bake 20-25 minutes. Cool on rack. Drizzle with a glaze made from powdered sugar and a little water.
• Note: For an even crispier bread stick, bake in the top half of the oven.
