Cranberry Walnut Bread Recipe With Yeast

Cranberry walnut bread is an easy artisan bread that can be made at home with just 6 ingredients. The main ingredients are bread flour, water, salt, yeast, dried cranberries, and chopped walnuts.

Bread flour has more gluten and works best to make bread. However, if you are out of bread flour, you can also use all-purpose flour. I use the King Arthur brand of bread flour and all-purpose flour and use it interchangeably to make a variety of bread without much difference between the two.

Instant yeast or bread machine yeast works best to make dough in the bread machine. Check out this post to read more on which yeast to use in a bread machine.

I love making cranberry walnut bread at home by making the dough in the bread machine. It is so easy and convenient. All you need to do is place the wet and the dry ingredients in the order recommended by the bread machine manufacturer and start the dough cycle.

The bread machine will do the mixing, kneading, and take the dough through its first rise. You can read more on how to make dough in bread machine. I have made artisan bread and baked it in the Dutch oven but you can also bake the bread directly in the bread machine.

To make cranberry walnut bread dough in breadmaker, place the water, flour, salt, and yeast in the pan and start the dough cycle. Just before the final kneading, add the dried cranberries and chopped walnuts to the pan and let it continue with the kneading and the rising phase. Some machines may have the nut dispenser and can add the nuts automatically during the cycle.

Once the dough cycle is complete and the dough has been through the first rise, remove it on a parchment paper and shape it into a ball. Place the dough ball along with the parchment paper in the Dutch oven for the final rise.

To bake an artisan style rustic and crusty cranberry walnut bread you will need a Dutch oven. After the first rise is done in the bread machine, shape the dough into a ball and place it in the Dutch oven lined with a parchment paper.

I have used a 4 qt. Dutch oven to bake this bread. Keep the Dutch oven in a warm place to allow the dough to go through the final rise until it doubles in volume. This can take up to an hour and will vary depending on the the ambient temperature.

Optionally, to speed up the process, you can warm the oven for 5 minutes and then allow the dough to rise inside it for about 30-40 minutes. To bake the walnut cranberry bread in the Dutch oven, preheat the oven to 450 °F with the rack at the middle level.

Place the Dutch oven in the oven and turn the temperature down to 400 °F and bake the bread for 25 minutes with the lid on. This helps trap the moisture and makes the bread crusty.

Finally bake the bread in the Dutch oven without the lid for about 20 minutes. The bread will have a nice golden color. Place it on a cooling rack and allow it to cool down completely before slicing it.

Bread, when refrigerated, becomes dry. So it is not advisable to refrigerate it. The best way to store homemade bread is to keep it in an airtight container at room temperature or store it in the freezer.

With this recipe, the bread machine kneads your nutty cranberry orange bread batter and bakes it all in one go. It's one of my favorite autumn breads, along with pumpkin bread and apple cider bread.

I have Cuisinart CBK-100 andCBK-200 bread makers, and cranberry orange bread turns out wonderfully in both. No matter the brand and model you own, you should be able to successfully use it to make quick breads like this.

Cranberry

STEP 1: Add all ingredients to the bread pan in the order listed. For non-Cuisinart bread makers, check your manual for the correct order to add ingredients (this is usually liquids first and dry ingredients last but it's always best to check).

STEP 2: Select the quick bread setting. Choose the 1.5 lb loaf and select your preferred crust color. After 5 minutes of mixing, use a spatula to mix in any ingredients that have stuck to the sides or bottom of the bread pan.

STEP 3: When the button chimes that it's ready to start baking, remove the kneading paddle (if you miss this part, it can be removed after baking). Give the batter a good, final mix to ensure everything is incorporated evenly.

STEP 4: Once the bake cycle has finished, allow to cool in the bread pan for 10-20 minutes. Then unplug the machine and remove the pan using oven mitts. Turn the pan on it's side and carefully ease out the banana bread with the help of a spatula or butter knife if needed. Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. If you haven't removed the kneading paddle, carefully pull it out of the bottom prior to slicing.

To make this recipe by hand instead, mix the wet ingredients and dry ingredients together in separate bowls. Combine the bowls and mix well. Then fold in the cranberries and walnuts and bake in a greased loaf pan until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. At 350 degrees Fahrenheit it will take between 45 and 60 minutes. The internal temperature should be 190 degrees Fahrenheit.

Fresh fruity quick breads don't keep long. Store them in a cool place in a sealed bag or container for up to 3 days at room temperature. This bread can be kept in the fridge for about 7 days or stored in the freezer for up to 6 months in airtight plastic freezer bags. Slice the bread into pieces before freezing for quick grab and go snacks. Defrost overnight in the fridge, for a few hours on the counter or do a quick defrost in the microwave.
