Directions
Orange Cranberry Bread,This is a quick bread made with cornmeal, adapted from a Williams-Sonoma holiday cookbook. They suggested serving it as a bread with your holiday meal, but we’ve always liked it for breakfast during the holiday season. Eat plain, or toast individual slices in your toaster oven (it’s too crumbly for a regular toaster) and top with butter and orange marmalade. Yum! Because of the cornmeal, the bread has a bit of a crunch to it when toasted.,My new favorite cranberry bread. Appreciate the clear directions especially for preparing the pan-fell out beautifully. Mine baked in 55 minutes. Neighbors loved this too.

Note: This Recipe Doesn't Double Well. the Batter Is Light & Airy, and Too Voluminous Even For My Kitchenaid Stand Mixer. If I Want to Make 2 Loaves, I Mix Them Up Separately. but I Put Each Loaf in the Oven as Soon as It Is Mixed Up Because the Baking Powder Is Already Activated. Then I Know If, For Example, 10 Minutes Have Passed Before the 2nd Loaf Goes in, I Will Pull the 1st Loaf Out When the Timer Goes Off, Then Set the Timer Again For Another 10 Minutes For the 2nd Loaf. |
