Instructions
Preheat oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Pro tip: Ensure the oven is fully preheated before baking for even cooking.
Mix dry ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Combine wet ingredients
In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then mix in the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Combine mixtures
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pro tip: Overmixing can result in a dense bread.
Add cranberries and zest
Fold in the chopped cranberries and orange zest until evenly distributed.
Pro tip: Coat cranberries in a bit of flour to prevent them from sinking.
Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Pro tip: Start checking for doneness at 50 minutes as oven times may vary.
Cool and serve
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Tips & Tricks
- For a moister bread, replace some of the milk with sour cream.
- Use fresh or frozen cranberries for a burst of flavour.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing for cleaner cuts.
- Sprinkle a little sugar on top before baking for a sweet crust.
