  1. 1

    Remove the baking pan from the machine. Add the yeast, flour, cinnamon, salt, white sugar, 2 tablespoons margarine, and water in the order recommended for the bread machine. Ensure no liquid touches the yeast. Choose the dough cycle and press start.

  2. 2

    Move the dough to a floured surface; knead it 10 to 12 times. Set it aside to rest.

  3. 3

    Melt 1 cup margarine in a medium saucepan over low heat. Stir in the brown sugar and raisins until smooth. Take off the heat.

  4. 4

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a Bundt or tube pan.

  5. 5

    Cut the dough into 1-inch pieces. Drop one piece at a time into the brown sugar mixture to coat thoroughly. Arrange the dough pieces loosely in the prepared pan, staggering the layers so each dough piece sits over a gap between the two below. Let rise in a warm, draft-free place until the dough is just above the top of the pan, 15 to 20 minutes.

  6. 6

    Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

  7. 7

    Remove from the oven and place a plate over the pan. Using oven mitts to hold both the plate and the pan, invert them together until the bread releases onto the plate. Serve warm.
