Description

This vibrant cranberry bread offers a delightful balance of sweet and tart flavors, making it an ideal companion for morning coffee or afternoon tea. The combination of fresh or frozen cranberries bursting with juice against a tender, moist crumb creates a sophisticated yet comforting treat. Enriched with strawberry butter and a hint of Tang, the loaf boasts a beautiful pink hue and a unique fruity depth that distinguishes it from standard quick breads. It is wonderfully simple to prepare, requiring no yeast or long rising times, making it a spontaneous addition to your holiday baking repertoire. Serve it warm with a extra pat of butter for the ultimate indulgence.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the lukewarm water and Tang powder, stirring until fully dissolved.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the bread flour, whole wheat flour, dry yeast, and sea salt.
  4. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the Tang-water mixture and melted strawberry butter.
  5. Mix until a shaggy dough forms, then knead gently for 2-3 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  6. Fold the cranberries into the dough, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  7. Place the dough into the prepared loaf pan and cover with a damp cloth.
  8. Let the dough rise in a warm place for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 190ðF.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
