  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.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
