In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. (3 minutes)

Add the softened butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. (5 minutes)

In a separate bowl, combine the orange juice, orange zest, and beaten egg. (2 minutes)
05 Step

07 Step
Recipe View
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan. (1 minute)
08 Step
Recipe View
Bake in the preheated oven for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top of the bread starts to brown too quickly, tent it loosely with foil. (60-75 minutes)
09 Step
Recipe View
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)
For a more intense orange flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of orange extract to the wet ingredients.
If using frozen cranberries, do not thaw them before adding them to the batter.
To prevent the nuts from sinking to the bottom of the loaf, toss them with a tablespoon of flour before folding them into the batter.
This recipe can also be used to make muffins. Fill muffin cups about ¾ full and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Store the cooled bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.

Jul 31, 2022Next time, I'll try using dried cranberries. Fresh ones were a bit too tart for my taste.
