Cranberry Orange Bread Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1/4 cup butter

  softened
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon grated orange peel
• 3/4 cup orange juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 cup cranberries

  fresh or frozen
• 6 oz chopped nuts

  optional

Instructions

• 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease the bottom of a 8.5 x 4.5 inch loaf pan
  or a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.
• 2 In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda;
  stir in the butter until the mixture is crumbly. Then stir in the orange peel,
  orange juice, vanilla, and eggs, just until the batter comes together. Be
  careful not to overmix. Fold in the fresh cranberries and nuts if using.
• 3 Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan. Bake until a wooden toothpick
  inserted in the middle comes out clean; about 50 minutes to 1 hour. Cool in the
  pan for 5 minutes before loosening the sides of the loaf from the pan with a
  knife. Transfer the loaf to a rack to cool completely before slicing.
