Step-by-step
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- Combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Add the cranberries and walnuts, and stir to coat with flour. Mix together the egg, oil, orange juice, and orange zest. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture, and stir until just blended. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 50 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack, and cool completely.
Can this quick bread be frozen successfully after baking? Quick breads containing fresh fruit and nuts hold their structural integrity remarkably well when preserved properly. Here are the essential practices for managing storage and minor formulation changes:
- Wrap the completely cooled loaf tightly in plastic wrap, then add an outer layer of aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn for up to three months.
- Thaw frozen slices overnight in the refrigerator or warm individual portions in a toaster oven at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for five minutes.
- Coat chopped walnuts in a portion of the all-purpose flour before folding them into the batter to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- Substitute neutral grapeseed oil or melted coconut oil at a direct 1:1 ratio if vegetable oil is unavailable, noting that coconut oil will impart a subtle tropical note.
- Bake until the internal temperature reaches 200 degrees Fahrenheit, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center emerges without wet batter clinging to it.
