Hi Pam, we're so glad to hear you found this blog post helpful! The Desired Dough Temperature formula only applies to yeast-raised or sourdough bread recipes, but I'm sure temperature does impact other types of recipes in various ways. If the Cherry Chocolate Bread recipe you're following contains yeast, then these methods can certainly be applied to good effect. Since the cherries and chocolate chips will most likely be at room temperature when you add them to the dough, they shouldn't have too much of an impact on overall dough temperature, and need not be calculated into the dough temperature formula. I've passed along your suggestion that we tackle some British Baking Show recipes in a future blog post!
