Add water, pumpkin puree, unsalted butter, and honey to the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer (typically liquids first).
Sprinkle in the salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
Add all-purpose flour, ensuring it covers the liquid ingredients completely.
Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the instant dry yeast.
Set the bread machine to the basic or white bread setting, with a medium crust color, and start the machine.
When the machine signals for mix-ins (usually during the kneading cycle), add the dried cranberries.
Once the baking cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
