Categories     Bread

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup salted butter (softened)
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup chopped pecans
3/4 cup dried cranberries
1 cup white chocolate chips
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 tablespoons chopped pecans (for sprinkling on top of the bread)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9x5x3" bread pan.
  • In a mixing bowl, thoroughly stir together the flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat together the sugar, butter, eggs and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk. Beat just until blended after each addition.
  • Fold in the pecans and cranberries.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove it and place it on a wire rack to cool.
  • For the white chocolate glaze, place the white chocolate chips and heavy cream in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave the chips for 20 seconds. Stir. Microwave for another 20 seconds. As soon as the chips start melting, start microwaving for 10 or even 5 second intervals. Be careful not to let it get too hot or it will burn. Be patient and stir between each time interval. You will end up with very thick, melted white chocolate. Spoon or drizzle this on top of the bread. Sprinkle with the extra pecans, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries are plump and firm, with a deep red color. Avoid cranberries that are soft, shriveled, or have brown spots.
  • Use a food processor to chop the cranberries and pecans. This will make it easier to mix them into the batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread in a loaf pan that has been greased and floured. This will help the bread to rise evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing it. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
  • Enjoy the bread fresh or store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the bread for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Cranberry pecan quick bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and fluffy texture, sweet and tangy flavor, and crunchy pecans, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
