Preheat and Prepare: To start off first preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and then grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients: Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a big bowl.
Firstly, pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and then smooth the top with a spatula.
Alternatively, bake for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
This will take quite a bit of time; allow it to cool:
The bread should cool down in the pan itself for about 10-15 minutes before being removed from it and put on wire racks to dry completely.
Secondly, Prepare the Glaze:
Combine powdered sugar with enough orange juice for drizzling consistency in another small bowl.
Thirdly, Glaze the Bread:
Pour glaze over cooled loaf. The glaze should set before slicing and serving.
Hints for Success:
Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh oranges for both juice and zest for best flavor quality. Cranberries Chopping: Coarsely chop cranberries while allowing them to be evenly distributed without sinking at the bottom of your load. Glazing Technique: Allow sufficient cooling time after baking so that glazing is done lastly to prevent melting away entirely.
Health Benefits:
Cranberries are antioxidative than vitamin C rich fruits like oranges which add more vitamin C and dietary fiber. This bread can be a nice way of getting these important nutrients into your body system.
