SUCCESS TIP
We found from our testing that for good texture and volume, slightly less yeast is needed in the 2-pound loaf than is needed in the 1 1/2 -pound loaf.

SUCCESS TIP
Be sure to measure the cinnamon accurately for this recipe. A "pinch" of some spices, such as cinnamon, ginger and cardamom, actually helps the yeast to grow. But it is important to measure carefully, since too much of a good thing, like cinnamon, causes the yeast to slow down rather than grow.

SUCCESS TIP
If your bread machine doesn't have a Raisin/Nut signal, add the peanuts 5 to 10 minutes before the last kneading cycle end. Check your bread machine's use-and-care book to find out how long the last kneading cycle runs.
