Yum! Didn't need to add the extra yeast for the 2nd rise--this dough rose quite well without it. I think the organic rye flour I used gave the dough that extra boost. I baked the dough in two medium loaf pans set on a half sheet pan and covered with a roasting pan--the loaf pans for ease of slicing. I lined the loaf pans with parchment and the cherries STUCK in places so will have to be more careful in making sure the dried cherries are well buried inside the dough. I think more dried cherries and more nuts for the next batch! Thanks, PJ, for a fantastic recipe! Julia, I'm interested how the crust did in a loaf pan - is it nice and chewy? Good idea, as it makes such nice "toast-shaped" slices... Thanks for all your feedback here! PJH
