Cranberry Orange Yeast Bread

That's right, cranberry orange bread that is not a quick bread.

I had a urge to use my bread machine today.  The one I got for $10 on a local trading site: www.bookoo.com.  It was practically brand new and I have gotten my money out of it, easily, in the less than a month I have had it.

So with my sweet tooth aching and really wanting cinnamon raisin bread and not having any raisins in the house, I found a recipe for cranberry orange bread at this site.  Although, once I found this site, I had to narrow my choices down since there are so many tempting bread recipes on there.

Recipe Directions (I made a 1 lb loaf since it's just me and my munchkin eating it):

=== SMALL LOAF - 1 lb MACHINE === 2/3 cup milk -- room temperature 1 egg -- beaten 1 tablespoon butter or margarine 2 cups bread flour homestyle white flour 1 tablespoon sugar 1 1/2 teaspoon grated orange rind 3/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup dried cranberries 1 1/2 teaspoon bread machine yeast === LARGE LOAF - 1 1/2 to 2 lb MACHINE === 1 cup milk -- room temperature 1 egg -- beaten 1 tablespoon butter or margarine 3 cups bread flour homestyle white flour 1 tablespoon sugar 2 teaspoon grated orange rind 1 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup dried cranberries 2 teaspoon bread machine yeast Select loaf size. Add ingredients to machine in listed order. Select WHITE cycle. This recipe yields 1 loaf. So, you can do this in the bread machine from start to finish, but I like to do just the dough cycle and then bake in the oven.  I like the size of a loaf from a loaf pan better and all the real work is done for me by the bread machine, so it's not that hard.  So I set all the ingredients in this morning, set the dough cycle, left to go grocery shopping and came home to dough ready to put in the loaf pan, rise and bake.  I baked it on 375 for 35 minutes and it was perfect.  Easy (and yummy-even the munchkin agreed!) I think that next, I am going to have to make the dried tomato and rosemary bread
