Using sound judgment to be more self-reliant.
This easy cranberry orange bread recipe combines tart cranberries and sweet orange flavor into a moist and delicious bread. It works well for full sized loaf pans, mini loaf pans – even muffins.
I got this recipe from my old college roommate’s sister, who’s been a professional baker for around 50 years. It’s one of the most popular breads at their small bakery during the holiday season. They bake the bread as mini loaves, and use fresh cranberries.
…This easy bread recipe is our “go to” for sandwich bread, buns and more – even monkey bread. My kids started making it when they were in their tweens. Now they can make (almost) as good as their mom.
There’s nothing like the aroma of fresh baked bread, and this is one recipe that’s turned out perfect every time.
I got a phone call from an old friend yesterday. As we were talking, his recent bread baking mishaps came up. He told me, “Next time we’re over for a visit, you have to show me how to bake bread. I’ve been trying, but one loaf of bread was flat, another loaf of bread looked great and then in caved in, and I just can’t get my bread to turn out right.”
Since he and the family won’t be able to come and visit until summer, I decided to write up a list of troubleshooting tips to help you bake the perfect loaf of bread, or at least bread that won’t do double duty as a door stop.
We’re going to tackle things in a question and answer format, so hopefully if there’s a question you’ve run into while bread baking, you’ll find it in the list.
