Equipment

  • KitchenAid Stand Mixer
  • Oven

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Flour
  • 1 ¼ cups light brown sugar packed
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • ¾ cup 2% Milk
  • 4 tablespoons Salted Butter melted
  • 1 - 12 ounce bag of fresh cranberries
  • 1 tablespoon raw sugar

Instructions

  • 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.
