Comments on: Cherry-Pecan Bread http://www.wildyeastblog.com/2007/07/30/cherry-pecan-bread/ Notes from my kitchen, in which I bake bread and raise a few other matters Wed, 20 Aug 2008 13:05:51 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Susan http://www.wildyeastblog.com/2007/07/30/cherry-pecan-bread/#comment-1808 Susan Sun, 23 Dec 2007 16:22:25 +0000 http://www.wildyeastblog.com/2007/07/30/cherry-pecan-bread/#comment-1808 Darryl, I use a lame for slashing but a knife works also. To get a nice ear, make sure you slash at angle (about 30 degrees to the surface of the loaf), steam the oven, and do not overproof the bread. If there are any cherries or nuts on the surface you can pick them off before slashing, but the ones just under the surface may still get in the way of the blade. I'm glad your bread turn out great.

Still turned out great. I really enjoy your blog and the way you format and write your recipes. I had a bit of trouble slashing through the big cherries and did not get that nice ear you show in the picture. Do you use a lame or a knife? Thanks again for sharing all your knowledge and baking experience. Tried this bread today and overproofed it a bit before baking. Still turned out great.

That would be a bonus in my book. Beatiful work, Susan!

I tried to make this bread a couple days, and all was going well until I put it in my oven. I just moved and wasn't used to my oven, was being a little less than attentive and burned the crap out of it, haha. I tasted the crumb on my way to garbage can, it was delicous and I'll definitely try again. I’ll reiterate what i said of tfl- gorgeous!

I was drawn to your lovely site by this cherry-pecan bread recipe you posted on TFL - I love cherries and I stockpile dried sour cherries when I find them at a good price, so I must try your recipe. I have not had time to participate on TFL all summer, but have lurked once in a while in a spare moment - hopefully I'll have more time this fall/winter to blog there as much as I used to, at least I am still baking SD bread every weekend though (priorities!)! Just wanted to say I am enjoying looking through your site here, and have always enjoyed your posts on TFL. Keep those great breads coming... --Terry (aka mountaindog) Susan, what a great site you have here!
