Step 1
Start by adding the milk, butter, brown sugar, egg, salt, cinnamon, yeast, and bread flour into your bread machine, following the order your machine suggests. Choose the white bread setting to get things going. When the mixer has about five minutes left, toss in the raisins and cherries so they get evenly mixed without breaking down too much. If your machine has a fruit or nut option, feel free to use that instead—it helps keep the fruit nicely distributed. Once the cycle finishes, take out your loaf and let it cool a bit before slicing. Enjoy!
