Cherry-Almond Muffin Bread

1 T. corn syrup (works without this but the crust is different)
2 t. almond flavoring
warm water to make 1 1/4 cups liquid
3 c. bread flour
3 T. non-fat dry milk
1 t. salt
1/4 t. baking soda
2 t. sugar
2 t. yeast
In a glass measuring cup mix the first three ingredients. Pour into
bread machine mixing pan and add remaining ingredients.

Set bread machine for sweet bread, light crust. When raisin/nut beep
sounds, add 1/2 c. dried red cherries. (May also add 1/3 c. chopped
almonds, but this adds fat, and the bread is good without it).

[Give this a chance to cool before tasting. The flavor is better].
