Cranberries produce an interesting loaf of bread. Unlike raisins, the cranberries are tart enough to keep the loaf from being a sweet dessert bread.
If you want dark brown bread, use molasses; use honey for a light-colored loaf. We used molasses because of its deep flavor.
Bread Machine Cornmeal Cranberry Bread
Ingredients:
- 1 cup + 1 Tbsp water
- 3 Tbsp molasses or honey
- 2 Tbsp butter, diced up
- 390 grams of all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup cornmeal
- 1½ tsp fine sea salt
- 2 tsp bread machine or quick-rise yeast
- ½ cup dried cranberries
Directions:
We use a Zojirushi bread machine, which heats the ingredients. If using a different bread machine, follow the machine’s directions for water temperature.
Ass ingredients in the order listed to the machine, but do not add the cranberries yet. Set for a 1½ pound loaf, White Basic with a Medium crust.
As the dough starts to knead and all the flour is mixed in, add in the cranberries.
Once baked, remove it and let it cool on a wire rack. Store once cooled in a bread bag.
Makes one 1½ pound loaf.
