Cherry Bread



In honor of our final days living in the Cherry Capitol of the world, we decided to make some cherry bread!


I took my inspiration from my mom's famous cinnamon raisin bread -- and just exchanged the raisins for dried cherries!  


It was a hit.  Delightful for breakfast, that's for sure.  

Cherry Cinnamon Bread - Adapted from Mom

3 1/4 C bread flour
2 tsp. salt
2 T dry milk
2 T butter
2 T honey
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 C dried cherries
10 1/2 oz. water
1 1/2 tsp. yeast

Place the ingredients in your bread machine in the order listed by the manufacturer.


Except -- add the cherries right away.


Trust me.  Don't listen to your machine on this one.  

Bake in the bread machine using the regular bread cycle.  


Cool, slice and enjoy -- fresh or toasted. Or, in French Toast!

  1. Oh my gosh! You got me with the word cherry. Your bread looks delicious. It is so hard to find tart cherries here. I'm going up into WI in a day or two to find them. Thanks for the recipe
