BREAD
3 c all purpose flour
1 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
2 c granulated sugar
zest of two large oranges
1 1/2 c buttermilk
1 c canola or vegetable oil
4 eggs slightly beaten
2 Tbsp fresh orange juice
1 tsp vanilla
12 oz bag of dried cranberries and blueberries
1 c fresh cranberries
1 c sliced almonds
GLAZE
2 c powdered sugar
3 Tbsp fresh orange juice
2 tsp orange zest
sliced almonds for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350º. Spray TWO 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 loaf pan with cooking spray and set aside.
  • 2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. In a small bowl, combine sugar and orange zest. Rub together with your fingers until fragrant. Whisk into the flour mixture. Set aside.
  • 3. In a separate medium bowl, combine the buttermilk, oil, eggs, orange juice, and vanilla.
  • 4. Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Fold in the cranberries and blueberries. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
  • 5. Bake for 70-75 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean. If your loaf starts to get too brown drape a piece of foil over the top to finish baking. I did this during the last 10 minutes of the baking time.
  • 6. Remove bread from oven and place on a cooling rack and cool for 15 minutes. Loosen the sides of the bread with a knife. Carefully remove loaf from pan. Let cool completely on wire rack.
  • 7. The bread on the left is the one by TwoPeasinaPod, the one on the right is my adapted version.
  • 8. Once the breads cooled I sliced them and places them in large french fries paper containers with wax paper liner and then glazed them. Then I placed in plastic bags with ties and gave them as Christmas gifts.

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen cranberries and blueberries: Fresh berries will give the bread the best flavor, but frozen berries can also be used. If using frozen berries, thaw them before adding them to the batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Grease and flour the loaf pan: This will help prevent the bread from sticking to the pan.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the bread is cooked through.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing it: This will help prevent the bread from crumbling.
