Quick Cranberry Bread
Quick Cranberry Bread
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon double-acting baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 1/4 cups milk mixed with 1 teaspoon rosewater
- 1 1/4 cups raw cranberries, roughly chopped
- 3/4 cup walnuts or pecans
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350F. Mix the dry ingredients together. Mix by hand or
with a beater the eggs and sugar until well blended. Stir in the melted
butter and the milk/rosewater. Stir in the flour mixture just until
moistened, and then fold in the cranberries and nuts. Do not overwork or
beat the dough. Butter a loaf tin about 10 inches long and 4-5 inches wide.
Bake 55-60 minutes, or until the top springs back when touched lightly or a
cake tester comes out clean. Let stand in the tin for a few minutes before
turning out onto a rack to cool. When thoroughly cooled wrap in plastic or
foil and let sit half a day before cutting.
Cranberry Orange Bread:
Use 1/2 cup orange juice and 3/4 cup milk as the
liquid, and add with the cranberries 3 Tablespoons grated orange rind.
