Scale
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup butter, cubed
1 large egg, room temperature
3/4 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
-
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8 x 4 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg, orange juice and zest; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
- Toss cranberries in a bit of flour to ensure that they don’t sink to the bottom while the bread is baking.
- Fold in cranberries and walnuts.
- Spoon batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 65 to 70 minutes*.
- Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then remove from the pan, and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
* If choosing to use a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan, bake for 50 to 55 minutes.
