Recipe Review

I usually do the mental math to make a small batch of dough in my bread machine for Easter, but decided to find a real recipe. This one is from a healthy website. My main problem with this recipe is that I had to add about 2/3 cup of flour to make a still soft, but manageable dough. Instead of the traditional coffee cans, I put one batch in a large, but tall cooking pot and split the second batch and place in two small, but tall baking pots to make 2 small and one large loaf. In one batch I substituted dried cherries and pecans, and this made the best Paska I have ever eaten. In the other batch I used half raisins and half craisens. This bread machine doesn't have a good way to alert me to add additional ingredients and it is important to not add the dried fruit and or nuts to soon, so I dumped mine in after the mixing was over and had to knead them in before shaping into loaves.
