Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Five Roses All-Purpose Flour
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.75 cups Fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Grated orange zest
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup Fresh cranberries (roughly chopped)
- 0.5 cups Chopped nuts (optional, like walnuts or pecans)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Whisk together to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a medium bowl, mix together the orange juice, orange zest, egg, and melted butter until smooth and well incorporated.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped cranberries and nuts (if using), ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for later enjoyment.
