Cranberry Orange Bread

Today was one of those Sundays where I sit around drinking coffee and slowly working on several assignments. I knew that I needed to bake something to warm the kitchen a little and give me energy to sustain all the graphing.

Cranberries were on sale since the Thanksgiving rush is over, and a friend who was in town for the weekend left an orange in my room that was perfect for zesting. I searched through a few cookbooks looking for this recipe, since I remembered making it last fall. This wonderful recipe is in Veganomicon. It also calls for crushed walnuts, but I prefer my bread soft and crumbly.

It smelled too delicious to let it cool enough to properly slice. Even if I had let it cool, I have never quite figured out how to make slices of baked goods look delicious. Do you have any tips?

  2. nice call with the no walnuts! i made bread last night and couldn't wait for it to cool to eat it. the slice fell apart before i was halfway through it. but the piece i cut this morning was much prettier. the only tips i know are letting it cool and using a serrated knife. however, i have heard of people using an electric knife and a bread slicing guide, so maybe if you're feeling fancy you can experiment with those someday.

  3. Thanks for linking to me! I love this recipe (and am missing cranberries very much this year since we are out of the country). Your photos are great!
