  • Pit the cherries before use: Make sure to remove the pits from the cherries before adding them to the bread batter. This will prevent the pits from damaging your teeth.
  • Use a combination of chocolate chips: Using a combination of dark chocolate chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips adds depth of flavor to the bread.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in a tough, dense bread. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
