Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9x5x3" bread pan.
- In a mixing bowl, thoroughly stir together the flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the sugar, butter, eggs and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk. Beat just until blended after each addition.
- Fold in the pecans and cranberries.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove it and place it on a wire rack to cool.
- For the white chocolate glaze, place the white chocolate chips and heavy cream in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave the chips for 20 seconds. Stir. Microwave for another 20 seconds. As soon as the chips start melting, start microwaving for 10 or even 5 second intervals. Be careful not to let it get too hot or it will burn. Be patient and stir between each time interval. You will end up with very thick, melted white chocolate. Spoon or drizzle this on top of the bread. Sprinkle with the extra pecans, if desired.

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.

Tips for Making Cranberry Pecan Quick Bread
- Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor and more nutrients than frozen cranberries.
- Chop the pecans finely. This will help them distribute evenly throughout the bread.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bread tough.
- 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.
Conclusion
Cranberry pecan quick bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. It is also a great way to use up leftover cranberries. With its moist texture, sweet and tangy flavor, and crunchy pecans, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
