Directions

  1. Mix milk and yeast in a small bowl with a fork until frothy, about 5 minutes. Add egg, butter, white sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat for 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1 cup flour. Beat for about 5 minutes. Add remaining 2 cups flour, mix until dough comes together.

  2. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead until dough is smooth and feels rubbery, about 10 minutes. Add additional flour if needed. Add chocolate chips and cherries, knead just until incorporated.

  3. Cover dough and let rise in a warm, humid area until doubled, about 1 hour.

  4. Punch down dough gently. Let rest for 10 minutes. Divide dough in half, shape into loaves. Transfer loaves to a greased baking sheet and let rise again, about 1 hour more.

  5. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until browned, 20 to 30 minutes.

Recipe Note

My friend gave me this recipe 15 years ago and it has been a favorite ever since. We prefer sweet, as opposed to tart, dried cherries. You can also use dried cranberries.
