Prep Time: 20 minutes

Bake Time: 60 minutes

Ingredients:

2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons grated orange rind
1/3 cup orange juice
1/2 cup water
1 egg, beaten
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup dried, sweetened cranberries

Freshly baked cranberry orange bread

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2: Grease and flour a 9" x 5" x 3" loaf baking pan.

Step 3: In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and sift together so everything is evenly distributed.

Step 4: In a separate bowl, combine grated orange rind, orange juice, water, egg, and oil. Mix well.

Step 5: Add wet mixture to dry mixture and stir just to combine.

Step 6: Stir in nuts and cranberries.

Step 7: Place in greased baking pan and bake for 50 to 60 minutes. Set timer initially for 50 minutes and add baking time as necessary.

**To test for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf 5 minutes before baking time is over. When the toothpick comes out clean, the bread is done.

You can also visually check if the bread is done by looking for a nice medium brown color and also checking that the bread has pulled away from the edges of the baking pan.

Makes 8-12 servings.
