Monday through Friday The Man of the House and I start out the day with granola. On weekends we have what we call “Special Breakfast”. The Special Breakfast menu contains things that we’d really like to eat every day but probably shouldn’t.

One of our special breakfast items is raisin bread. I make it (as well as all of our bread) in the Zojirushi Bread Machine.

This recipe is for a 2 pound loaf. Follow the instructions that came with your bread machine in terms of which ingredients to put in the bread machine first.

3 Tbsp. Sugar
2 Tbsp. Dry Milk
1 – 1/2 tsp. Salt
