Two 50-50 breads
Yesterday's bread was 50-50 fresh milled hard white wheat and all purpose flour with 80% hydration and leavened with a rye starter. After mixing and resting, half the dough was combined with grated cheese and herbs, while half was combined with dried cherries and pecans.

Looks nice. How did they taste?
They were both tasty. I especially like bread with nuts. Saw your beautiful cherry porridge bread post earlier today- gives me ideas for next weekend's bread.
That was surely a fun dough to work with at that hydration, but the extra extensibility must have made it at least a bit easier to get the add-ins mixed well. I really like the idea of having a savoury version and a sweet version - something for every mood or meal!
Nice job, and thanks for sharing!
the dried cherries were surprisingly hard to combine nicely. I should have soaked them first. Lesson for me for next time ;-)
