Simply Delicious Cranberry Quick Bread Recipe


Delicious Cranberry Quick Bread Recipe
Cranberry Quick Bread Recipe


Nothing smells quite as good as bread fresh from the oven. While baking using yeast bread recipes can be time-consuming and a little technical, quick breads are, as the name implies, quick and easy. Quick breads can be used in many ways and for every meal: toasted for breakfast, spread with toppings for a light lunch or paired with a hearty soup for a delicious and warming cold-weather dinner.

Quick breads are made using baking powder, baking soda or a combination of the two as the leavening, rather than yeast. Baking powder and soda are much less finicky than yeast, which must be treated with care, or it will not activate and the bread will not rise.
 

Another advantage of quick breads is that they can be made using nearly infinite varieties and combinations of ingredients – fresh fruits, dried fruits, vegetables, cheeses, nuts and grains can all be incorporated into basic quick bread recipes. The recipe that follows features cranberries, so it is appropriate around Thanksgiving and Christmas, although it is delicious any time of the year. It is flavored with orange juice and grated orange peel; cranberries and oranges are a classic combination of sweetness and tartness.
 

Quick breads are a great way for the new baker to begin mastering the basics of making breads. Essential skills such as measuring and combining ingredients and judging baking times are learned quickly and with the nearly immediate gratification of a scrumptious loaf of homemade bread.

Orange Cranberry Quick Bread Recipe




Cook time: 

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1 cup granulated white sugar
1½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ cup butter
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon shredded orange peel
¾ cup juice from about 2 large oranges
1½ cup raisins, either dark or golden
1½ cups fresh cranberries, coarsely chopped

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
 

Sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder and baking soda into a large bowl. With a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour mixture until the butter is the size of peas and is well integrated with the flour.
 

Combine the beaten egg, orange juice and orange rind in a small bowl. Slowly stir the orange juice mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until the dry ingredients are evenly moist, but do not over-mix. Gently fold in the cranberries and raisins.
 

Grease two 8½-inch loaf pans. Either glass or metal will work. Divide the batter evenly between the two pans and smooth the tops with the back of a large spoon. Bake in 350-degree oven for approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes. To test for doneness, insert a toothpick into the middle top of one of the loaves. If dough does not cling to the toothpick, the bread is done. If not done, check again in five minutes.
 

Set the pans on a cooling rack for 10 minutes, and then gently remove the loaves from the pans. Let cool completely before slicing.

Winter Squash and Simple Squash recipes

Image
In my opinion, winter squash is better than fruit and I LOVE fruit. I'd take a good acorn squash over watermelon anyday. There are some important things you need to know before you try it though. Winter Squash and Simple Squash recipes There are several different kinds of winter squash and many of them have a very unique taste. Butternut is probably the most popular squash and easiest to find. Acorn and spaghetti squash are also found in most food stores. Buttercup and kabocha squash are delicious as well but harder to find. They have a different sweetness than fruit. You might not like squash the 1st time you eat it or you just might not fully appreciate the taste. I didn't. But once you eat it a few times you'll love it, the key is to give it a chance. It really, really grows on you. One of the problems with winter squash though is that it can be very inconsistent. Usually it depends of the farm. If one squash isn't that great than the rest of the batch probably isn&
