(If this can be answered simply and the solution isn't, like -- there are so many alterations to rising times and etc that I may as well make a sourdough loaf, haha.)

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.
