You should be able to substitute it anywhere that brown sugar would be used. It would be different than a white cane sugar though. Turbinado has a hint of honey flavor and is a different consistency. It is a by-product of cane sugar.
I would probably give it a try, though I would suspect that the taste would be different than cane sugar.
Thanks, Chris!! We actually like the flavor of molasses better than table sugar, so that isn't a problem. I just wasn't sure whether raw sugar would dissolve quickly enough to activate the yeast. I've been thinking it over, might put the sugar into the warm liquid and dissolve before adding to the pan. I love my bread machine. :) As you can probably tell, I'm a newbie to the raw sugar, raw foods, whole foods thing.
Mary Ann, Curtis is right - Give it a try! The worst thing that could happen is the sugar won't dissolve. If you like molasses flavor you could also try demerara or muscovada sugar. Let us know how it goes!
