CRANBERRY WILD RICE BREAD RECIPE - (3.9/5)



Cranberry Wild Rice Bread Recipe - (3.9/5) image

Provided by á-29897

Number Of Ingredients 17

FOR THE BREAD:
2-1/2 C Bread Flour
1/2 C Whole Wheat Flour
2-1/4 tsp Active Dry Yeast (typically 1 packet equals 2-1/4 tsp)
2 tsp Salt
1-1/4 C Water, room temperature
2 Tbl Molasses
1 Tbl Grapeseed Oil (Olive or vegetable oil will also do)
3/4 C Wild Rice Blend, cooked and cooled (we love Lundberg's Wild Rice Blend)
1/2 C Dried Cranberries, chopped
2 Tbl vegan Margarine, melted and cooled
FOR THE CRANBERRY BUTTER:
1 Stick of vegan Margarine (1/4 lb.) at room temperature (we use Earth Balance)
1/4 C fresh Cranberries
1 tsp fresh Orange Juice
1 tsp Orange Zest
Agave, to taste

Steps:

  • To make the bread, whisk together the flours, yeast and salt. Add the water, molasses and olive oil. (NOTE: The butter is for brushing the top after rising and does not go IN the dough). Mix together until everything is incorporated and knead until smooth. This took me about 7 minutes. You could also use a mixer with a dough hook to do this. Add the chopped dried cranberries and cooked wild rice blend. (I wouldn't use straight wild rice in this bread although there are some that call for it. Be sure to cook the rice completely and cool it before adding it to this dough. If it's firm before baking, it will be crunchy after baking and that's not very appetizing :) Knead until everything is incorporated evenly. Lightly spray or oil a bowl and place the dough to rest for 1-1/2 hours. Cover with a lint-free towel (or plastic wrap). Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray. Lightly punch down the dough and place into the loaf pan. Be sure your pan is only filled ⅔ full. I found that I had a slightly smaller than average loaf pan and once risen, it went over the edges a bit. If you have to much dough, you could always make a couple of muffins out of the surplus. Cover the loaf pan and place in a warm area to rise again for 1 hour. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Brush with the melted margarine. Bake for 40-50 minutes. Oven temperatures vary greatly, so start with 40 and keep an eye on it. You'll want a skewer or toothpick inserted to come out clean. Allow to cool for 20 minutes in the pan. This is important for it to hold it's shape. Don't let it sit too long or it will begin to soften from the steam. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Wrap in foil and refrigerate if not serving immediately. To make the cranberry butter, place fresh cranberries in the bowl of a food processor and puree. Add the vegan margarine (room temperature blends best). Add the orange juice and zest. Blend to combine. Taste and add agave to desired sweetness. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to use.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality wild rice for the best flavor and texture.
  • Soak the wild rice for at least 4 hours or overnight before cooking. This will help to reduce the cooking time and make the rice more digestible.
  • Cook the wild rice according to the package directions.
  • Use fresh cranberries when they are in season. If fresh cranberries are not available, you can use frozen cranberries.
  • Chop the cranberries before adding them to the bread batter. This will help to distribute the cranberries evenly throughout the bread.
  • Add some chopped nuts or seeds to the bread batter for extra flavor and texture.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven until it is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Wild rice cranberry loaves are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With their beautiful color and nutty flavor, these loaves are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
