I stumbled on this recipe while looking for a cherry-chocolate chip bread recipe. It sounded great so I decided to try it ... and to make one loaf into what I was originally trying to find, using about a third of the dough. Before the final rise, I kneaded in 2/3 c. dried cherries, 1/3 c. chocolate chips, and to sweeten it a bit further, 1 Tbs of chocolate milk powder. It wasn't kneading so much as working in the extra ingredients. It was a bit wet, so knead on a well floured surface and work some of it into the dough. WOW, was this good. Don't be afraid to lightly toast a slice - it tastes fabulous that way, and the chips didn't melt into the toaster. Thanks for sharing this delicious variation, Jim - there are S many things you can do with this versatile dough, both sweet and savory... PJH
