The Not So Skinny Cook

I love fresh bread, and I love my bread machine, because without it I would be far too lazy to bake bread. I have tried several different cinnamon raisin bread recipes and this one is my favorite. It is full of flavor, not too dense and uses only several ingredients (and in my opinion on bread, the fewer ingredients the better.)
