Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup Water
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg
- 1.5 teaspoons Almond extract
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 3 cups Bread flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 0.5 cup Dried cherries
- 0.25 cup Slivered almonds
Instructions
Add the water, milk, unsalted butter, egg, and almond extract to the bread machine pan in the order recommended by your bread machine manufacturer.
Add the granulated sugar, salt, and bread flour on top of the wet ingredients in the pan.
Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the active dry yeast. Ensure the yeast does not touch the liquid ingredients at this stage.
Place the bread machine pan into the machine and select the 'Sweet Bread' cycle, or a similar cycle if available. Use the 1.5-pound loaf setting, if applicable.
Start the bread machine. When the machine signals to add additional ingredients, usually during the kneading stage, add the dried cherries and slivered almonds.
Allow the bread machine to complete its cycle. Once finished, carefully remove the bread from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or freeze for longer storage.
