ORANGE CRANBERRY BREAD RECIPE (VIDEO)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350F/177C. Line an 8-inch (20-cm) loaf pan with parchment paper and spray the sides with baking spray.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, melted butter, lemon or orange juice, eggs, vanilla and sugar. Mix on medium speed for a few minutes, until the eggs are well beaten. In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder and salt. Sift the dry ingredients into batter, then mix in on medium speed for 30 seconds to 1 minute, just until the flour is incorporated. Do not over mix the batter.
• Next, fold in the zest of 1 large orange and the fresh cranberries (see my notes in the post above for instructions for using frozen or dried berries).
• Transfer the orange cranberry batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The sides will be a rich, golden brown color. Remove the loaf from the pan once it's done baking and cool on a wire rack.
• For the easy orange glaze, juice the large orange used for orange zest earlier. Add about 3 to 4 tablespoons into a mixing bowl and add the confectioner's sugar. Add the orange zest and whisk until a smooth glaze forms. For a thicker glaze, add more sugar; for a thinner glaze, add more orange juice.
• Spoon the prepared glaze over the cooled cranberry loaf; cool for about 30 minutes before glazing. Once bread is cooled, store it well-wrapped in plastic at room temperature.

EASY ONE-BOWL CRANBERRY ORANGE LOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F (regular bake setting/not fan assisted), with rack in the centre of the oven. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut the butter into 4 pieces and add to the dry ingredients. Using your fingertips, rub the cold butter into the flour mixture, breaking it up as you go, until you have an evenly crumbly mixture resembling corn meal.
• Remove the zest from the orange and set aside for now. In a 2-cup measuring cup, add the juice from the orange. Add enough water to the measuring cup to fill up to the 3/4 cup mark. add the orange zest and the well beaten egg to the measuring cup and stir to combine. Pour the orange juice mixture all at once into the dry ingredients. Using a wooden spoon, mix together just enough to dampen all the flour. Gently stir in the cranberries. (I like to dust frozen cranberries with a tiny bit of flour before adding to the dough).
• Spoon the batter into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan and bake in preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until a tester inserted in the centre comes out clean. (Starting with frozen cranberries may need a few extra minutes of baking. Also note that darker pans will bake more quickly. So watch closely near the end of baking, but don't be afraid to bake a little longer, if needed).
• Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then run a knife around the side of the pan and turn out/remove from pan and allow to cool completely on a wire rack to cool completely.
• Once cooled completely, prepare glaze by stirring together the glaze ingredients until smooth. Place a piece of waxed paper or paper towel under the cooling rack to catch drips, then spoon the glaze over the cooled loaf, spooning it onto the top and letting it run down the side. Allow to stand until the glaze sets (about 30 minutes) before slicing.

GLAZED CRANBERRY LEMON LOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325F (regular bake/not fan assisted). Grease an 8x4 or 4x10 loaf pan and line the bottom and long sides with a sheet of parchment paper that extends over the sides by an inch or so (for easy removal). Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside about 2 tsp of flour to dust the cranberries later.
• In a large bowl with an electric mixer or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar at medium-low speed, until lightened in colour, about 1-2 minutes. Mix in the lemon zest.
• Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition and scraping down the bowl as needed.
• Add the flour mixture, alternately with the milk, mixing until well combined.
• Toss the cranberries with the reserved 2 tsp of flour, then gently fold the cranberries into the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth top of batter.
• Bake in a preheated 325F for 50-60 minutes, or until lightly golden in colour and a tester comes out clean. (mine took 55 min in light coloured 4x10 loaf pan.
• Remove from oven and allow to cool in pan for 5 minutes, before lifting onto a wire rack using the parchment paper (allow to cool 10 minutes if not using parchment). Peel off parchment and allow to cool completely before drizzling the glaze over-top.
• To prepare the glaze, combine the icing sugar and lemon juice, adding enough lemon juice until you have a glaze that is just thin enough to pour off a spoon. Drizzle over cooled cake, then let stand 20-30 minutes to allow the glaze to set before slicing.
