CORNMEAL-OATMEAL CRANBERRY-ORANGE LOAF



Cornmeal-Oatmeal Cranberry-Orange Loaf image

My husband, being a true Texan, loves cornbread almost as much as he loves me. I was not a great cornbread baker, so I bought The Cornbread Gospels by Crescent Dragonwagon to learn how to make his tummy happy, and what a great book that turned out to be. Every form and fashion of cornbread you can imagine, and (almost) all good. This recipe is from that book, and has earned rave reviews everywhere I have taken it. It's beautiful, and the essences of orange and cranberry combined with the crunchiness of stone ground cornmeal sets it apart from other quick breads, and it will leaving you wanting more. I hope you like it as well as we do.

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 large loaf, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/3 cup stone-ground yellow cornmeal
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
2 eggs
3 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons buttermilk
2 finely grated oranges, zest of
1 cup fresh cranberries, coarsely chopped
4 tablespoons walnuts, toasted and chopped
1/4 cup rolled oats

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350. Coat 1 large, 2 medium, or 3 small loaf pans with oil.
  • Soft the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt into a large bowl.
  • Whisk together the eggs, oil, buttermilk, and orange zest in a second, smaller bowl.
  • In a food processor, pulse the cranberries a few times until they are roughly chopped. Combine the mix-ins--the cranberries, walnuts, and oatmeal--in a third bowl. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the flour mixture over them, and toss well.
  • Quickly combine the flour mixture and the egg mixture, using as few strokes as possible. Gently stir in the mix-ins. The batter should be stiff. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan(s). Bake for 45 to 55 minutes for the large pan, 35 to 50 minutes for the mediums, and 35 to 40 minutes for the smalls. Check two-thirds of the way through the baking period; if the loaves are browning excessively, tent them loosely with foil.
  • Let the baked breads cool for 10 minutes in the pan(s), run a thin knife around the edge of each pan, and turn the loaves out. Let finish cooling on a rack.
  • NOTE: When using cirtrus zest, try your best to get organic fruit, because it is free of the waxes and fungicides that are routinely sprayed on conventionally grown citrus fruit peels.

DARJEELING CRANBERRY, GINGER AND ORANGE TEA LOAF (FAT-FREE)



Darjeeling Cranberry, Ginger and Orange Tea Loaf (Fat-Free) image

A delectable and easy Tea Loaf with aromatic and fruity flavours! The beauty of these British and Irish style Tea Loaves or Brack, is that they are nearly always fat-free, making them a tasty snack to have with an afternoon cuppa, and without the guilt! I have added ginger for a subtle kick, and I have discovered that if you soak your fruit in Darjeeling tea, it lends a wonderful flavour to the fruit, you can use any tea of your choice however. Remember to start this Tea Loaf off the night before you wish to bake it, as the fruit steeps in the tea overnight, making them plump and moist. This Tea Loaf freezes well (in slices) and it will stay fresh for a week in an airtight tin. NB: A note on ingredient conversions to US cups; The conversion rate to US cups is very dependant on what type of sugar and flour you use - there is a different rate for white flour and wholemeal flour, as there is for caster (superfine) sugar and granulated sugar. We use weights for measurements, and US cups rely on volume!
