Description

This Cranberry Nut Bread is a delightful twist on traditional quick breads, offering a perfect balance of sweet and tart flavors. The bright citrus notes from fresh orange juice and zest cut through the richness of the nuts, while the tart cranberries add bursts of juicy acidity. It has a tender crumb and a lovely golden crust, making it ideal for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon tea. The aroma of baking orange and spices fills the kitchen, promising a warm, homemade treat. It stores well, often tasting even better the next day as the flavors meld together. Serve it sliced with a cup of coffee or tea for a comforting, satisfying experience that feels both rustic and refined.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC). Grease a 9x5x3 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
  3. Add the oil to the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together orange juice, egg, and grated orange peel.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just moistened; do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the cranberries and chopped nuts until evenly distributed.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
  10. Remove from pan and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
  11. Wrap tightly and store at room temperature for up to 3 days.
