Cherry Orange Bread

Directions

1. 1
   Mix together the water and yeast. Allow it to rest for about 10 minutes.
2. 2
   Add in the salt and the flour, one cup at a time. Combine to form a rough dough ball.
3. 3
   Now add in the zest, juice, and cherries.
4. 4
   Combine the ingredients and bring your dough ball out to a well floured surface. Dough will be moist.
5. 5
   Knead the dough for 5 to 7 minutes and add in additional flour as necessary. I probably ended up adding an additional 1/4 to 1/2 cup while kneading.
6. 6
   Let the dough rest covered in a warm dry place for at least one hour or until doubled in size.
7. 7
   Punch the dough back down, reform a tight ball and score the bread. Let rise a second time.
8. 8
   Once bread is ready to be baked, spritz with water and transfer to the oven.
9. 9
   Bake at 350°F for about 25 minutes.
