Tips:

  • Prep Cranberries: Before starting, ensure cranberries are coarsely chopped and softened. You can soften them by microwaving for 30 seconds or placing them in a warm oven for a few minutes.
  • Use Quality Ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and texture. Choose plump, juicy cranberries, crunchy walnuts, and fresh orange zest.
  • Don't Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense loaf of bread.
  • Proper Baking: Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry out the bread, so keep an eye on it during baking.
  • Cooling and Storage: Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
