Tips:
- Choosing fresh cranberries: Look for plump, firm berries that are deep red in color. Avoid any berries that are soft or shriveled.
- Preparing the cranberries: Before using, rinse the cranberries thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. This will help to prevent the bread from becoming too soggy.
- Measuring the flour: To ensure accurate measurements, use a kitchen scale to weigh the flour. If you don't have a kitchen scale, use the spoon and level method. To do this, spoon the flour into a measuring cup and level it off with a knife.
- Mixing the dough: Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this can result in a tough bread. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
- Baking the bread: Bake the bread in a preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The baking time may vary depending on the size and shape of your loaf pan.
- Making the caramel almonds: To make the caramel almonds, melt the butter and sugar together in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture has turned a light golden color. Add the almonds and stir to coat. Pour the almonds onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and spread them out in a single layer. Bake the almonds in a preheated oven until they are golden brown and caramelized.
Conclusion:
This crusty cranberry bread with caramel almonds is a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for any occasion. The bread is moist and flavorful, with a slightly tart cranberry flavor. The caramel almonds add a sweet and crunchy topping that takes this bread to the next level. Whether you're serving it for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, this bread is sure to be a hit.
