Ingredients
2
cups
all-purpose flour
1
cup
granulated sugar
1
teaspoon
salt
1
teaspoon
baking powder
1/4
teaspoon
baking soda
2/3
cup
buttermilk
(see note)
6
Tablespoons
unsalted butter
melted and slightly cooled
1/3
cup
orange juice
fresh is best
1
large
egg
1
Tablespoon
orange zest
(from 1 medium orange)
1 1/2
cups
fresh cranberries
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375F with the rack in the middle position.
Generously coat a 9x5 bread loaf pan with nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, orange juice, egg, and orange zest.
Roughly chop the cranberries if larger berries.
Add the milk mixture and cranberries to the flour mixture. Gently fold together until just incorporated. Do not over-mix.
Scoop the batter into the bread pan and smooth out the surface with a spatula.
Bake at 375F until golden brown for approximately 1 hour. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few crumbs.
Remove from oven. Let the bread rest in the pan for 10 minutes then remove from pan and let cool on wire rack until completely cool.
Notes
You can get a microplane for zesting, finely grating chocolate and cheese, and more here!
It is best to let the bread completely cool before slicing into it, which will help prevent it from crumbling.
You can use bottled orange juice, but fresh is best.
