Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup Water
- 0.25 cup Orange juice
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Dry milk powder
- 2 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 0.75 cup Dried cranberries
Instructions
Add water, orange juice, unsalted butter, and honey to the breadmaker pan.
Sprinkle salt evenly over the liquid ingredients.
Add all-purpose flour and dry milk powder on top. Ensure the flour fully covers the liquid.
Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the instant yeast into this well, ensuring it does not touch the liquid.
Spread the dried cranberries around the outer edges of the flour, avoiding the yeast well.
Place the pan into the breadmaker and close the lid. Select the 1 1/2 lb loaf size and the basic or sweet bread cycle depending on your breadmaker options.
Start the machine and let it knead, proof, and bake the bread automatically (approximately 3 hours).
When the bread cycle is complete, carefully remove the pan from the breadmaker using oven mitts.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then gently turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
