Time 1h40m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 11

¾ cup butter, room temperature
3 cups white sugar
3 eggs, room temperature
3 tablespoons orange zest
6 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon salt
4 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
2 ¼ cups orange juice
3 cups whole cranberries
1 ½ cups chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease three 8x4-inch loaf pans. Line bottoms with parchment paper, if desired.
  • Beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add the room-temperature eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next. Stir in the orange zest.
  • Sift together the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Add to the egg mixture, alternating with orange juice.
  • Coarsely chop the cranberries.
  • Pour the flour mixture into the mixing bowl alternately with the orange juice, mixing until just incorporated. Fold in the chopped cranberries and walnuts, mixing just enough to evenly combine. Divide the batter evenly among prepared pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Check for browning: cover the tops with aluminum foil to prevent them from becoming too dark. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaves comes out clean, about 30 minutes more. Cool on wire racks.

CRANBERRY-WALNUT BREAD



Cranberry-Walnut Bread image

This Thanksgiving-inspired quick bread recipe comes from Jane Kraemer of Manchester, Connecticut. The mixture of tart cranberry and salty nuts will have everyone reaching for a second slice.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for pan
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 cup fresh orange juice
1 cup fresh cranberries
1 cup toasted walnuts, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter and flour an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan; set aside. In a medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
  • With an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar on medium speed until combined. Add egg, and beat well. Gradually add flour mixture, mixing until combined (dough will appear very dry). Reduce speed to low; beat in orange zest and juice. Fold in cranberries and walnuts.
  • Spread batter in prepared pan, smoothing top. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 50 minutes to 1 hour (tent with foil if top is browning too quickly). Cool in pan 10 minutes; run a knife around edges of loaf, and invert onto a wire rack. Turn top side up; cool completely before slicing.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a tart flavor that pairs well with the sweetness of the walnuts and the spices in the bread. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Chop the walnuts finely. This will help them distribute evenly throughout the bread and will prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the bread is cooked through.
  • Serve the bread warm with the spiced orange butter. The spiced orange butter adds a delicious citrus flavor to the bread.

Conclusion:

This walnut-cranberry bread with spiced orange butter is a delicious and festive bread that is perfect for any occasion. The bread is moist and flavorful, with a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness. The spiced orange butter adds a delicious citrus flavor to the bread. This bread is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
