BREAD
3 c all purpose flour
1 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
2 c granulated sugar
zest of two large oranges
1 1/2 c buttermilk
1 c canola or vegetable oil
4 eggs slightly beaten
2 Tbsp fresh orange juice
1 tsp vanilla
12 oz bag of dried cranberries and blueberries
1 c fresh cranberries
1 c sliced almonds
GLAZE
2 c powdered sugar
3 Tbsp fresh orange juice
2 tsp orange zest
sliced almonds for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350º. Spray TWO 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 loaf pan with cooking spray and set aside.
  • 2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. In a small bowl, combine sugar and orange zest. Rub together with your fingers until fragrant. Whisk into the flour mixture. Set aside.
  • 3. In a separate medium bowl, combine the buttermilk, oil, eggs, orange juice, and vanilla.
  • 4. Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Fold in the cranberries and blueberries. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
  • 5. Bake for 70-75 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean. If your loaf starts to get too brown drape a piece of foil over the top to finish baking. I did this during the last 10 minutes of the baking time.
  • 6. Remove bread from oven and place on a cooling rack and cool for 15 minutes. Loosen the sides of the bread with a knife. Carefully remove loaf from pan. Let cool completely on wire rack.
  • 7. The bread on the left is the one by TwoPeasinaPod, the one on the right is my adapted version.
  • 8. Once the breads cooled I sliced them and places them in large french fries paper containers with wax paper liner and then glazed them. Then I placed in plastic bags with ties and gave them as Christmas gifts.

Tips:

  • To ensure moist and flavorful bread, use fresh and juicy oranges. Overly dry or flavorless oranges can result in a bland or dry loaf.
  • Zest the oranges before juicing them to get the most flavor from the fruit. The zest contains aromatic oils that will enhance the bread's flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough and dense loaf. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Use a serrated knife to slice the bread. This will prevent the bread from tearing or crumbling.

Conclusion:

This cranberry orange almond bread is a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and flavorful crumb, sweet and tangy cranberries, and crunchy almonds, this bread is sure to please everyone. Whether you are serving it for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, this bread is sure to be a hit.
