CRANBERRY STREUSEL LOAF
This makes a pretty loaf of bread & is from the Taste of Home's Holiday Card Recipe Collection. I have tweaked it a little, to make it a little healthier or to personal taste.

Tips:
- Prep your loaf pan: Grease and flour your loaf pan to prevent the loaf from sticking. Alternatively, you can use parchment paper for easy removal.
- Zest your orange finely: Use a microplane grater or a fine grater to get the zest of the orange. This will ensure that the zest is evenly distributed throughout the loaf.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense loaf. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking helps to develop the flavor and texture of the loaf.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the loaf is cooked through without overbaking.
- Let the loaf cool before slicing: Allow the loaf to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. This will help to prevent the loaf from crumbling.
