dough:Measure all the ingredients into the container of your bread machine, remembering that accurate measurement is the key to success with these machines. Start with the milk, vanilla and egg, then add the dry ingredients and the pieces of butter. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour the yeast into it.
1 cup milk
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1 large egg
3 1/3 cups all purpose flour, more for the board
5 Tbs. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1/4 cup butter, cut in pieces
1 1/2 tsp. active dry yeast
filling:
3 Tbs. softened butter
1/3 cup sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
2/3 cup raisins
glaze:
2/3 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 Tbs. milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla
Use the dough setting on your machine, or use a basic bread setting and stop the machine after the second rising, before the baking begins.
When the dough has risen twice, turn it out on a lightly floured board and turn it over once so that it is dusted with flour and not sticky. Roll it out into a rectangle about 10" by 18". It should be about half an inch thick.
Smear the softened butter over the rectangle of dough. Mix together the sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle this over the buttered dough, then scatter on the raisins, taking care to distribute them evenly.
Starting at one of the narrow ends, roll the dough up firmly over the filling, stretching it out to the sides a bit as you go. You should end up with a loaf about 12 to 14 inches long.
Using a thin, sharp knife, cut this loaf into twelve even pieces. Lay the spirals on a lightly buttered non-stick baking pan, at least an inch apart, and cover them with a kitchen towel. Allow the rolls to rise for 45 minutes to an hour, or until they are about double in volume.
Bake the rolls at 375° for 12 to 15 minutes, until puffed up and golden brown. While they are baking, stir together the glaze ingredients.
As soon as you take the rolls out of the oven, either drizzle or brush the glaze over them. This will give them a pretty shine on top. If you want a thicker, more opaque glaze, allow the rolls to cool down first.
This makes 12 generous cinnamon rolls.

1 3/4 cup nonfat milkThe important thing to remember about baking in a bread machine is that accurate measuring is far more important than it is in traditional baking. Because you won't be kneading the dough by hand, you won't be feeling your way with the texture and adding a bit more flour as needed until it's just right - so measure with care. I pour my flour into a bowl, scoop it out with a dipping measure and slide the excess off the top with the back of a knife blade. This gives me a very reliable cup. Either packed flour or sifted flour would throw the measurement off.
3 1/4 cups white flour (all purpose, or bread flour)
1 cup whole wheat flour
4 Tbs. light brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 Tbs. vital wheat gluten*
1 cup rolled oats
3 Tbs. butter
1 envelope active dry yeast (2 1/4 tsp.)
Put all the ingredients into the baking pan of your bread machine, beginning with the milk, continuing through the dry ingredients, and cutting the butter into pieces. Make a small well in the dry ingredients and pour the yeast into that. Proceed according to the directions of your machine.
I use a basic wheat bread setting on my machine. If yours doesn't have that, use whichever setting is recommended for a denser loaf.
This makes 1 large loaf of bread, perfect for breakfast, great for sandwiches, and very nice toasted the next day if you can keep it that long.
*Vital wheat gluten can be bought in most health food stores, or in supermarkets with better selections of flour.
