Begin by carefully measuring all ingredients. Place the water, nonfat dry milk powder, honey, butter (or margarine), salt, bread flour, and fast rising yeast into the bread machine pan in the order recommended by your bread machine manufacturer (generally liquids first, then dry ingredients, with yeast last).
Secure the bread machine pan into the bread machine.
Set the bread machine program to the basic cycle with a medium crust setting.
Press the start button to begin the baking process.
Listen for the bread machine to signal the end of the first kneading cycle. This is usually indicated by a beep or series of beeps.
Once signaled, add the old fashioned oats and raisins to the bread machine pan.
Allow the bread machine to continue through its complete cycle, including kneading, rising, and baking. This typically takes around 55 minutes for the baking portion.
Once the bread machine cycle is complete, carefully remove the baked bread from the pan. Use oven mitts, as the pan will be hot. You may need to gently loosen the loaf from the pan using a spatula.
Place the freshly baked bread on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving. This is crucial for preventing a gummy texture and allowing the flavors to fully develop.
