The family loves it and it makes delicious French toast.

Is this the KA recipe? It looks great!

I ended up with the loaf upside down and didn't want to mess with it too much to flip it over, so it's a little rough looking. Who cares how it looks? Delicious!

Do you make an effort to cover up the cherries to avoid them burning during baking?

They also had KA organic bread flour for sale. I know it was over $9 for a five pound bag. I did not see any whole wheat flour or yeast.

I've been making kenji's no-knead bread in the Dutch oven for several months now and it is absolutely positively satisfactory as a crusty, open-crumb bread. I love it!
I start it at 19h the evening before, and have bread by 10h the next morning. Simple as can be.

Neither ultra-cheap but both readily available and certainly approaching the realm of reasonable, price-wise.

For somebody who never baked a loaf of bread until very recently, you are doing yourself proud!
Happy New Year!
