For a more intense orange flavor, substitute orange juice for half of the warm water. If you don't have orange oil, use 2 teaspoons of finely grated orange zest. Be sure to zest only the outer colored part of the orange, avoiding the bitter white pith. Dried cranberries can sometimes be a bit tough. Consider soaking them in warm water for 10 minutes, then draining them well before adding them to the bread machine. Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for longer storage.
