Tips:

  • For a sweeter bread, use 1 1/2 cups of sugar instead of 1 cup. If you don't have plain yogurt on hand, sour cream can be used in its place.
  • Use freshly squeezed orange juice and zest for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh cranberries, you can use 1 cup of frozen cranberries that have been thawed and drained. The bread can also be made with other dried fruit, such as raisins or cherries.
  • To make sure the bread is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf. If it comes out clean, the bread is done. If the toothpick comes out with moist batter, the bread needs to bake for a few more minutes.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

This moist cranberry-orange bread is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make, delicious, and full of flavor. With its tangy cranberries, sweet orange zest, and moist texture, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Serve it for breakfast, lunch, or a snack, or wrap it up for a gift. You can't go wrong with this classic recipe.
