Set your bread machine to basic, and 2 lb. Choose your crust preference. My family prefers a medium crust. However, most recommend the light setting.

Once the bread machine has finished its first kneading cycle (and before it has started the second kneading cycle), add your raisins or currents.

When the cycle has completed, remove the pan from the machine and let cool for 5 minutes.

Our bread machine normally takes about 3 hours to complete the cycle. However, every bread machine is different and yours can take less time or take longer.

Remove bread from the pan and let cool on a wire rack. Remove the dough hook or wait until the bread has cooled completely.

Cut and enjoy! I purchased a bread slicer on Amazon so I could get the perfect slice every time.

brush the top of the dough before placing it in a preheated oven at 350-degree for about 30 minutes or until golden brown.
