Sweet and tart Cranberry Bread makes for the perfect seasonal breakfast, afternoon snack, or dessert. This quick bread comes together in a little over an hour and feeds 8-10 people!
Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9- by 5-inch loaf pan.
Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Meanwhile combine egg, milk and butter in a small bowl. Add wet mix to dry mix and combine thoroughly then stir in cranberries.
Pour batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle with raw sugar. Bake until golden brown and a cake tester comes clean, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes. Run a knife around pan to loosen bread. Turn onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Yield - This recipe yields 1 loaf which equals about 10 slices.
Testing Doneness - Use a long wooden skewer and insert into the middle of the bread. If the wooden skewer comes out clean with a few crumbs the bread is done. If it comes out with batter you will need to add 10+ minutes on to your baking time.
Substitutions:
Dairy - I have not tested this with plant based/nut based dairy products.
Gluten Free - You could substitute gluten free flour for the all purpose flour. Just know this recipe has not been tested with that flour. Baking times may vary.
