Ingredients:

  • 1 ¼ cup water, 90-110 degrees
  • 3 Tbs olive/canola oil
  • 2 Tbs sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 ¼ cup bread flour
  • 1 ½ cup whole wheat flour
  • ¾ cup Grape-Nut® cereal
  • 2 tsp active dry yeast
  • ½ cup raisins

Directions:

For best results, all ingredients should be room temperature. Add ingredients to bread machine in order suggested by the manufacturer. Select basic bread setting. Choose crust color and loaf size if available.

If you'd like a “sweeter” style bread, consider adding a little cinnamon to the recipe.
