Ingredients:  
4 cups all purpose flour
¼ cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold
1 cup dried cherries
1½ cups buttermilk
1 large egg
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon heavy cream
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°. Line a baking stone with parchment paper. In a large bowl whisk together flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Using a pastry cutter, cut in butter until mixture feels like coarse meal. Stir in cherries until evenly distributed. In a small bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg, and baking soda until well combined. Pour buttermilk mixture into the flour and butter mixture all at once, and stir with a fork until all the liquid is absorbed and the mixture begins to hold together. It should resemble a rough biscuit dough. Using your hands, press the dough into a round, dome-shaped loaf about 8 inches in diameter on the prepared stone. In a bowl, mix the egg yolk and cream together. With a pastry brush, brush the egg wash over the loaf. With a sharp knife or razor, incise a cross, about 1/2 inch deep into the top of the loaf. Transfer to the oven. Bake rotating halfway through until it is deep golden brown and a wooden skewer comes out clean when inserted in the center, about 70 minutes. Remove to a wire rack and let cool. Makes one loaf.
