Raisins and caraway seeds may sound like a strange combination, but the result is quite tasty in this updated bread machine version of an old recipe.

2-1/2 teaspoons dry yeast
3 tablespoons buttermilk powder
3 cups white bread flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
1/2 cup raisins
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 cup warm water

Set your bread machine for white loaf, if applicable.

Add all the ingredients except raisins to your bread machine container in the order stated. Raisins should be added after the first kneading.

Follow machine manufacturer's instructions.
