Cranberry Orange Bread Recipe

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray (or baking spray, the kind with flour in it).

Step 2

Stir together the sugar and orange zest in a large bowl, set aside.

Step 3

Whisk together buttermilk, orange juice, oil and egg. Set aside.

Step 4

Whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a small bowl. Set aside.

Step 5

Add wet ingredients to sugar mixture and stir until combined. Stir in dry ingredients, then fold in chopped cranberries.

Step 6

Pour mixture into prepared pan. Bake 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with just a few crumbs (test in the very center of the loaf). Cool before removing from pan.

Step 7

Once cool, make the glaze by whisking powdered sugar with orange juice and adding just enough cream or milk to get a drizzle. Drizzle over bread; let set. Slice and serve.
