🍞 How To Make Pioneer Woman Cranberry Orange Bread

1. Set oven temperature to 350˚F. Grease a 6-cup (8 1/2 by 4-1/2 inch bread loaf pan) with butter, then sprinkle flour over the top, tapping off any excess.
2. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium-sized bowl and whisk to combine. Put aside.
3. Mix the orange juice, milk, and zest of one orange (setting aside 1 teaspoon of zest for the glaze) in a measuring cup. Put aside.
4. Combine the granulated sugar and butter in a large bowl and beat on medium to high speed for 2-3 minutes. It will be mixed, not smooth. Add two large eggs and beat until combined.
5. Mix on medium-low speed until barely combined after each addition of flour and milk mixtures; do not overmix. Use a spatula to scrape down the bowl sides as necessary.
6. Mix the cranberries with 1/2 tablespoon of flour and gently mix them into the batter.
7. Bake at 350˚F for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, after which you should spread the batter into the pan you’ve prepared.
8. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes before removing with a cake release tool or knife and transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling before glazing.

To Make the Glaze:

1. Cream together the powdered sugar, orange juice, and reserved teaspoon of zest in another bowl.
2. Stir until completely smooth. The consistency should be like drizzle.
3. Add extra orange juice to thin it down, or powdered sugar to thicken it.

💭 Recipe Tips

• Coat cranberries with flour to prevent sinking in the batter.
• Use room temperature ingredients for better incorporation.
• Do not overmix the batter to avoid a tough texture.
