Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Plain yogurt
- 0.75 cup Dried cherries
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 large Egg
- 4 tablespoons Milk
Instructions
Add the ingredients to the bread machine pan in the order recommended by your bread machine manufacturer. This is typically liquids first, followed by dry ingredients, and finally the yeast.
Start by adding the milk, plain yogurt, and the egg into the bread pan.
Add the granulated sugar, salt, and all-purpose flour on top of the liquids. Make sure the flour covers the liquid entirely to separate it from the yeast.
Place the instant yeast in a small well in the center of the flour so it does not come into contact with the liquids yet.
Add the softened unsalted butter in small chunks, spreading them out around the edges of the flour.
Set the bread machine to the 'Sweet' or 'Basic' bread setting with a light crust. The cooking time should generally be around 3 hours, but consult your machine's manual.
As the bread machine mixes and kneads, add the dried cherries during the 'add-ins' cycle (usually after the initial kneading has completed). If your machine does not have an add-in alert, add the cherries within the first 5-7 minutes of kneading.
Once the machine is finished, carefully remove the bread pan, and allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the Cherry Yogurt Bread as is, or lightly toasted with your favorite spread. Enjoy!
