Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 cup Warm water (110°F/45°C)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
- 0.25 cup Milk (warm, approx. 110°F/45°C)
- 0.5 cup Maraschino cherries (chopped, drained well)
- 0.5 cup Pecans (chopped)
Instructions
Gather all the ingredients and ensure the maraschino cherries are thoroughly drained and chopped to prevent excess moisture in the bread.
Add the ingredients to the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Typically, this means adding the wet ingredients (warm water, melted butter, warm milk) first, followed by the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, salt).
Create a small well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the active dry yeast to avoid direct contact with liquids.
Set the bread machine to the 'Sweet Bread' or equivalent setting, and choose the desired crust color (light, medium, or dark). Start the machine.
When the machine signals for additional ingredients or during the kneading cycle (if your machine does not issue an alert), add the chopped maraschino cherries and pecans. Make sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Allow the machine to complete its cycle, which includes kneading, rising, and baking. Avoid lifting the lid during the process as it may interfere with even baking.
Once the machine completes the baking cycle, carefully remove the bread from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 15–20 minutes before slicing.
Serve the Maraschino Pecan Bread warm or at room temperature, plain or with a spread of butter for added flavor.
