I had some dried cranberries and thought heart shaped bread with the cranberries mixed in would be cute.

In Step 4, stretch the dough out, and if it looks like it's about to come apart, knead it some more! Recipe by miityan

Steps

1

Dissolve the dry yeast in the lukewarm water. Soak the cranberries and raisins in water for 10 minutes to rehydrate. Lightly chop them and pat dry well with a paper towel.
2

Put the ingredients marked ＊ into a bowl and lightly mix with a wooden spatula. When mixed, add the yeast from Step 1.
3

Mix quickly by hand until the dough is no longer sticky and it has come together.
4

Place the dough on a board and knead it. Hit the dough on the work surface and knead. Repeat until the surface is smooth.
5

Mix the cranberries and raisins from Step 1 into the dough.
6

Place it over a double boiler (30℃), and cover with a shower cap for the first rising.
7

Check the dough with your finger, then roll it into 8 balls. Cover with a moist kitchen towel and let sit for 8 minutes.
8

Shape the dough like a teardrop, and cut in half with a scraper, leaving 1 cm at the pointed end intact. Twist and open to shape it into a heart.
