Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for loaf pan
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 stick cold butter, cut into pea size pieces, plus extra for loaf pan
- 1 orange, zested
- 3/4 cup fresh orange juice
- 1 orange, peeled, sections removed and diced
- 1 egg
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- Special Equipment: 9 by 5-inch loaf pan
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a food processor combine the flour, sugars, salt, baking soda and butter. Pulse, pulse, pulse until the mixture resembles finely grated cheese. Add the orange zest, juice and the egg. Pulse, pulse, pulse until the mixture is just combined. Remove to a bowl and stir in the diced orange and cranberries.
Grease and flour the loaf pan and add the batter. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Rotate the pan halfway through the cooking time to insure even cooking.
When done let cool for about 20 minutes and remove from loaf pan. Let cool completely before cutting.
Yummy!

This is, by far, the best quick bread I have ever eaten. It is full of flavor and the bits of orange add sweetness and just a little gooiness to the finished bread without adding more sugar. It is crunchy on the outside but moist and delicious on the inside. It's a little putzy to make but well worth the effort. I sold this at a bake sale and will make a LOT more of them for next year.

I made this with cranberries I picked and froze in the fall. It turned out delicious.

Absolutely delish! Moist in the inside and crispy on the outside. It's so fragrant! I might try it with a bit less butter and a bit less sugar next time.. or, maybe not (just had another slice mmmmmm! Took about 7 min less than the recommended 1 1/4 hours, but that's probably because I'm not used to my new oven. This will be my go-to quick bread for last minute invites, coffee dates and gifts, and it couldn't have some at a better time. Thanks!
