For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the wet ingredients.
If you don't have a bread machine, this recipe can be adapted for oven baking. After the initial mixing and kneading, allow the dough to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled. Then, shape it into a loaf, place it in a greased loaf pan, and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown.
For a richer flavor, try soaking the raisins and cherries in rum or brandy for 30 minutes before adding them to the dough.

    This recipe is amazing! The bread came out so soft and flavorful. I added a bit of orange zest for extra zing.

    I've made this loaf several times now, and it's always a hit. The cherries and raisins are perfectly balanced.
