3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions

1

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.
