How to Make Grandmother's Famous Cranberry Bread
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5x3 inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1 tablespoon orange zest, and 1/4 cup orange juice.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in 1 cup raisins and 1 cup dried cranberries.
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 65-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking for doneness around 60 minutes.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy! (Optional: Substitute all raisins with cranberries for an all-cranberry bread)
