BREAD MACHINE CRANBERRY RAISIN BREAD

Steps:

• Bread machine settings - 2 pound loaf, light color and "basic" bread setting.
• Unplug the bread machine and remove the bread pan from the bread machine. This prevents any ingredients added to the bread pan from accidentally spilling into the bread machine.
• Starting with the water, you should add all of the ingredients (except the cranberries & golden raisins) into the bread machine "bucket" (bread pan).
• Place the bread pan back into the bread machine and plug in the bread machine.
• Enter the correct settings into the bread machine (i.e. 2 pound, light color and basic) and press the start button.
• After the bread machine has finished its first kneading cycle (and before the second kneading cycle), add the cranberries and golden raisins.
• When the bread machine has finished baking the bread, unplug the bread machine. Remove the bread and place it on a cooling rack. Use oven mitts when removing the bread machine container (bread loaf pan) as it will be very hot!
• After removing the bread, don't forget to remove the mixing paddle if it is stuck in the bread. Use oven mitts as the mixing paddle will be very hot coming out of the bread machine. Or wait until the bread is completely cooled and then remove the mixing paddle.
• In our Sunbeam bread machine, the baking takes about 3 hours for a 2 pound bread at the light color & basic bread settings. However, some machines can differ and you don't want to be away from home when the bread machine "finished" alarm goes off! Your bread machine should show you the length of the baking time after you have entered the settings into the machine. This will allow you to know when to be in the kitchen in order to remove the bread.
• Before using your bread machine, you should read the bread machine manufacturer's instructions in order to use the bread machine effectively and safely.

CINNAMON CRANBERRY RAISIN BREAD

Steps:

• 1. Cut the cube of butter into lots of little pieces and toss with about 1 Tablespoon of flour. Set aside to soften.
• 2. In a small saucepan, heat the milk until steamy. This helps scald the milk, which kills enzymes that might inhibit yeast growth. (This is why the original recipe calls for dry milk, which I do not regularly carry. Dry milk is missing this enzyme.) Pour in the cool water which will help cool the milk. You want to make sure the milk is not over 110 degrees or it will kill the yeast.
• 3. In the bowl of a standing mixer, put the flour, sugar and yeast and whisk. Add the cooled milk/water mixture with the egg. Using a wooden spoon, start mixing the liquids with the dry goods. Add the dough hook and let it run on medium low until it is a cohesive mass, about 2 minutes.Cover with plastic wrap and let sit 20 minutes.
• 4. Turn the mixer on again and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes more. Now add the butter bits one at a time, mixing until incorporated into the dough. It will seem too slick at first but should absorb into the dough. If you absolutely need to, add a bit of flour to keep it from being too sticky. Add the raisins/cranberries and mix 1 more minute.Remove bowl from machine.
• 5. Using a bowl scraper, or rubber spatula, fold dough over itself by gently lifting and folding edge of dough toward middle. Turn bowl 90 degrees; fold again. Turn bowl and fold dough 6 more times (total of 8 folds).
• 6. For this loaf, put a pan of boiling hot water in a bowl or cake pan in the oven, cover the dough with plastic wrap or a damp tea towel and place in the oven to rise for about 45 minutes. I like to prepare my loaf pans with parchment paper for this bread, in case it leaks and gets sticky. I just cut a piece to be as long as the loaf pan, then press it in, letting it overlap the sides. Then I can lift the bread out with the parchment.
• 7. After the first rise, take the dough out and gently deflate. Repeat folding steps 8 times, cover and let rise again 45 minutes. This is going to give it a fine crumb.
• 8. Whisk filling ingredients together and set aside. (I have never seen powdered sugar used in filling before. But it has corn starch in it, which would help keep filling in-tact.)
• 9. Divide the dough into 2 pieces.Roll the dough, one piece at at time, to about 7" x 18". Use a misting bottle to spray water over the dough. Then sprinkle half the filling over it and mist with more water, just to keep in intact, not runny. Roll up, pinch edges and work on the next one.
• 10. Before putting them in the pan, its time to twist! (the fun part). Lay one of the logs of dough in front of you. starting about 1 inch from one end, cut the dough in half down the long center. Gently turn the cut sides slightly up and start twisting them one over the other, round and round. Then seal the ends and place in the pans.
• 11. Cover and let rise (right on the counter tops this time) about an hour, until its about 1" above the loaf pan.Preheat the oven to 350. Mix your egg with a teaspoon of water or milk to make an egg wash and brush this over the loaves right before putting the oven.(you could sprinkle with some cinnamon sugar at this point, but keep in mind it will darken the loaves quite a bit.)
• 12. Place the loaves in the oven and bake until well browned about 25 minutes.(If it is getting too brown for your taste, lightly cover with a piece of aluminium foil.) Then reduce the oven temperature to 325 and bake another 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reached 190-200 degrees.Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove to a rack to continue cooling. Slice it up and enjoy!

CRANBERRY WALNUT BREAD

Steps:

• Combine *WARM WATER and YEAST in mixing bowl or stand mixer bowl.* Active Dry Yeast needs 100°F - 110°F water temperature. Combine and allow 5 minute rest until yeast activates.* Quick Rise Instant Yeast needs 120°F - 130°F water temperature. Combine and proceed to step 2.
• Add SUGAR, SALT, OLIVE OIL, FLOUR, CRANBERRIES, and WALNUTS to the mixing bowl (reserve 1/3 cup flour to assist mixing).Stir ingredients together with a utensil (or stand mixer on low speed) until a shaggy dough forms.
• Mix and knead dough with your hands (or stand mixer on low speed) about 5 minutes until it becomes stretchy and pliable. During mixing, sprinkle tiny amounts of the reserved flour into the bowl to prevent sticking.
• Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and shape into a tight, round form, tucking the sides under to form a seam on the bottom.
• Perform 1st proof/rise by placing dough in an oil-coated mixing bowl (or Instant Pot), seam side down. Cover with a towel or draped plastic wrap and allow to double in size (about 45 min).
• Deflate the dough (aka punch it down) to remove air bubbles. You can move on to the next step, or...Perform 2nd proof/rise by shaping the dough into a tight round and repeat step 5. (The 2nd proof/rise is optional, but recommended to further develop texture and flavor)
• Preheat oven to 375°F and let's shape these loaves...Transfer the dough onto lightly floured surface. Press to deflate air pockets and divide dough into 2 or 3 equal sections.Press each piece into a loose rectangle shape.Fold and press dough into itself until it becomes tight while forming it into the final shape (baguette, loaf, or round).Transfer to a prepared baking sheet or loaf pan. Brush surface with olive oil and cover to prevent air exposure.
• Perform final proof/rise by resting forms in a warm spot until nearly doubled in size.Score the dough by making 1/4" slits across each loaf with a razor or knife.
• Bake 20-25 minutes, rotating as needed for even browning.The bread will be golden brown. It should register an internal temperature of 190°F on an instant-read thermometer.
• Transfer loaves onto a cooling rack and rest 5 minutes.Remove loaves from pans and rest on the cooling rack until completely cooled (to retain moisture).Store cooled bread in a plastic bag or airtight container up to 2 days at room temperature or 5 days in the refrigerator.

CRANBERRY ORANGE OATMEAL BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Add the flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, sea salt and cinnamon to a large bowl and whisk until combined.
• To a separate bowl, add the milk, canola oil, orange zest and eggs and whisk together until well combined.
• Add the fresh or frozen cranberries to the flour mixture and toss very well to coat. Don't skip this step! Adding the fruit to the dry ingredients will help prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the loaf as it bakes. It will also make sure the batter isn't discoloured by any berries that aren't completely dry or may be releasing some of their juices before baking.
• Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and fold them together with a rubber spatula just until no streaks of flour remain.
• Grease a large loaf pan with some butter or vegetable oil spray. I love to use my Misto Oil Sprayer (affiliate linfor this job since it gives you the flexibility of a conventional oil spray without all the harmful propellants they contain.
• Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and smooth out the top as much as you can. Place a few orange slices on top of the batter (if you wisbefore baking.
• Bake the loaf for 60-65 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or until it's reached a delicious golden colour and a toothpick inserted into the loaf comes out clean.
• Let the loaf cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before removing it to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Enjoy with your favourite cup of coffee or tea for a delicious cool weather snack!

CRANBERRY, RAISIN & PECAN KNOT

Steps:

• Mix the flour, yeast and salt and 1½ tsp of the caster sugar in a large mixing bowl. Put in the butter and rub it into the flour. Make a dip in the centre of the flour and pour in almost 300ml hand warm (cool rather than hot) water, with a round-bladed knife. Then mix in enough of the remaining water and a bit more if needed, to gather up any dry bits in the bottom of the bowl, until the mixture comes together as a soft, not too sticky, dough. Gather it into a ball with your hands.
• Put the dough onto a very lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 mins until it feels smooth and elastic, only adding the minimum of extra flour if necessary to prevent the dough sticking. Place the ball of dough on a lightly floured work surface. Cover with an upturned, clean, large glass bowl and leave for 45 mins-1 hr or until doubled in size and feels light and springy. Timing will depend on the warmth of the room.
• Knock back the dough by gently kneading just 3-4 times. You only want to knock out any large air bubbles, so too much handling now will lose the dough's lightness. Shape into a ball, then cover and leave for 10 mins.
• Shape by flattening the dough into a rectangle, about 28 x 18cm, scatter on the cranberries, raisins and chopped pecans, then roll up tightly from one of the short ends. Roll into a 52cm-long sausage. Tie into a simple knot and lay on a baking parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover and leave for 40-45 mins, or until doubled in size.
• Put a roasting tin in the bottom of the oven 20 mins before ready to bake and heat oven to 230C/210C fan/gas 8. Put the risen bread in the oven, carefully pour about 250ml cold water into the roasting tin (this will hiss and create a burst of steam to give you a crisp crust), then lower the heat to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Bake for 20 mins or until golden. Remove and cool on a wire rack. If you tap the underneath of the loaf if should be firm and sound hollow.
• Finish by making a spiced sugar glaze with the remaining caster sugar, cinnamon and 1 tsp hot water. Brush over bread while it is still warm.

• Add the flour, salt, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the dough comes together, then knead for about 10 minutes by hand on a lightly floured surface or with the dough hook of the stand mixer. If needed, add more flour, in small amounts, to keep the dough from sticking to the bowl or your hands.
• Add the walnuts and cranberries and knead them in until they are distributed throughout the dough. This is best done by hand unless you feel your mixer can handle the task.
• Oil a large bowl. Transfer the dough to the bowl and roll over to coat all sides. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise until doubled, about 1 hour.

RICH RAISIN AND CRANBERRY LOAF (BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• 1. OPTIONAL: I like to soak raisins/cranberries in hot water until soft. This will make them plumper and softer and keep fruit on outside of loaf from burning. If you prefer not to do this, mix dried fruit w/ pinch of flour and toss. This will keep fruit from sticking together.
• 2. Place ingredients, in order listed, in bread pan. Select loaf size (2 LB) and crust preference. I use a light setting for a tender loaf. Choose sweet bread program and start bread maker.
• 3. Add fruit when mix-in tone sounds or when appropriate for your maker. When cycle is complete, remove bread from pan to wire rack to cool completely prior to slicing. Take a whiff of that heavenly yeasty cinnamon fragrance and ENJOY!
