  1. Cut one open... I'd love to see what the greens and cherries look like.

  2. Cool! Do you EVER use any measurements??? Even I can't make most breads the first time without a measurement or two!

    Cheerio!

  3. I measure liquid. 14 to 16 oz. per loaf, a little less with eggs. These two came out a shade soupy in the middle, as Mr. noted, because I forgot I had put egg in. If they had baked another 5 minutes they'd be done in the middle but a little overdone on the crust. Should have been a bit smaller.

    The rest is by eye because I have done this every other week since about 1973. (!!) Not saying it works every time, mind you ...
