BREAD MACHINE GINGERY BREAD

Steps:

• Measure carefully, placing all ingredients in bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer.
• Select Basic/White cycle. Use Medium or Light crust color. Remove baked bread from pan and cool on wire rack.

BREAD MACHINE GINGERBREAD LOAF

Steps:

• 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.

RAPID GINGERBREAD (BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• Follow instructions for your bread machine.
• My machine instructs to measure ingredients in the order listed into the baking pan. (I combine the milk and egg and microwave on high for about 30 seconds before adding to the pan.).
• Insert baking pan into machine and secure pan.
• Select rapid bake setting for a 2 pound loaf.
• When cycle ends, I put the loaf into a large zup lock bag, seal the bag, and place on wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
