  If your machine has a Fruit setting, add the raisins at the signal, or about 5 minutes before the kneading cycle has finished.

• Step 3

  Take dough out after first kneading cycle has finished. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll out into a rectangle. Spread dough with butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Roll dough, and divide into two parts. Place loaves in two lightly greased 9x5 inch bread pans. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

• Step 4

  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

• Step 5

  Brush tops of risen loaves with melted butter and bake in preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, until crust is brown and loaves sound hollow when tapped.
