I am a new Mini Zo owner - 1st breadmachine - have never used it to made dough. I'd love to try this recipe & would appreciate any guidance you can offer.
Specifically, can this dough be made in the Mini? I'm presuming the refrigerator rising should be in a bowl, not the bread pan of a Mini.
Trying to figure out the right time to add the chocolate & cherries.
What is the minimum time to refrigerate the dough if I'm not going to let it set overnight? The directions say several hours...would that be 3, 4 or more? Is it better if it sets in the fridge longer?
I'm eager to make this and thank you in advance for help.
Yes, Anne, this recipe can be made using the Zo Mini - just go ahead and follow the directions as written. No difference between the larger Zo, and the Mini, as far as process goes. Add the cherries and chocolate about 1 minute before the end of the final kneading cycle; you can find out how long that kneading cycle is by looking at the instruction manual. (And if you have any questions, please call our customer service folks - 1.800.827.6836.) Yes, the dough can rest in its pan in the fridge; it handles most easily when it's thoroughly chilled. Not sure how long it takes to thoroughly chill, but I'd suspect at least 3 hours. Longer is fine, too. Just stick you finger into the middle of the dough - if it feels fridge-cold, it's thoroughly chilled. Good luck - you can do it! PJH
