I have made a melomel, using sweet cherries. It has been fermenting now for a month. I sampled it and it has a "bready" flavor. Anyone ever run into this? It is not infected.

It might taste less bready after the yeast has settled and your fruited mead has aged a while.

I know that this may seem counter-intuitive but pitching too little yeast can create yeasty flavors (I assume by "bready" you mean a yeast-like aroma/flavor rather than a wheat -like flavor). What was the volume of your must and how much yeast did you pitch? If the SG is high (more than about 1.120) I think you need to use about 1 pack of yeast/gallon.
