Ingredients:

Yield: 1 "1.5 po ...

• 1/2 cup blueberries or 1/2 cup blackberry (fresh or frozen)
• 2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 2 1/4 cups bread flour
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 3 tablespoons powdered milk
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

• 1 cup chopped fresh ripe peaches or 1 cup nectarine
• 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 egg
• 2/3 cup water

Directions:

1. If the blueberries or blackberries are fresh, freeze them so they will not get too mushy in the bread dough.
2. Add all ingredients except the berries in the order suggested by your bread machine and process on the basic bread cycle.
3. At the beep (or before final knead and rise), add the berries.

Sorry for this review, but didn't really taste that great. I was expecting to taste the fruit a bit more but all I really tasted was the wheat (and I usually like wheat). I also had to add about another cup of flour, though not sure why. I did use the bread machine to make the dough, but baked in the oven. Hope someone else tries this and has better luck!
