| 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

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.
