Good Afternoon, Had some problems with my biga, but I will make first attempt anyway. (I am preparing a new one and it already looks much better). I am using a bread machine for this first one and when do I put the fruit in, when the machine calls for it or after the dough is all kneaded? Thanks! Hi Connie - put the fruit in after the dough cycle is complete - that is, after it's risen. If you want to use the bread machine to knead the fruit in, just re-start the dough cycle, and let it knead till the fruit is incorporated. PJH
