How to Make Cranberry Orange Bread:

➡Prep: Preheat oven to 350˚F. Butter a 6 cup (8 1/2 by 4 1/2 bread loaf pan) then dust with flour tapping out the excess flour.

➡In a medium mixing bowl whisk together: flour baking powder and salt. Set aside.

➡In a measuring cup combine together milk zest of 1 orange (Reserve 1 tsp zest for the glaze) and orange juice. Set aside.

➡In a large mixing bowl cream together butter and granulated sugar on medium/high speed (2-3 minutes on high speed). It won’t be smooth just combined. Beat in 2 large eggs mixing until well incorporated.

➡Add flour mixture in 2 parts alternating with the milk mixture and mixing on medium/low speed just until incorporated with each addition. Scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula as needed.

➡Toss cranberries with 1/2 Tbsp flour then fold them into the batter just until incorporated. Spread the batter into your prepared pan and bake for 45-50 min at 350˚F until golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in pan 10-15 minutes then run a cake release tool or knife around the edges and transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely before glazing.

To Make the Glaze:

➡In a separate bowl stir together powdered sugar orange juice and reserved teaspoon of zest. Stir until smooth. It should have a drizzling consistency. Add more orange juice to thin it out or powdered sugar to make it thicker.
