Place yeast in dispenser. Program for whole wheat and press Start (work ok with Basic bread too). I've added all different kinds of dried fruit (apricots, dried cherries, raisin s) to this and that comes out great. Add 1/2 cup of chopped fruit whenever you normally add raisins (if you have a raisin bread cycle then at the beep. That's my only complaint with the Panasonic--I think I did it last time around 2:40 left in the whole wheat cycle, and it came out ok, for those of you that also have the Panasonic).
