I’d be happy to provide you with a recipe for Cranberry Orange Bread with a simple glaze. Here’s a delicious recipe for you to try:

 

Ingredients:

 

– 2 cups all-purpose flour

– 1 cup granulated sugar

– 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

– 1/2 teaspoon salt

– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

– 3/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice

– 2 tablespoons grated orange zest

– 2 large eggs

– 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries, coarsely chopped

 

For the glaze:

 

– 1 cup powdered sugar

– 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice

– 1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest

 

Instructions:

 

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.

 

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

 

3. In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, orange juice, orange zest, and eggs. Mix well.

 

4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Fold in the chopped cranberries.

 

5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.

 

6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

 

7. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

 

8. While the bread is cooling, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, orange juice, and grated orange zest until smooth.

 

9. Once the bread has cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top. You can do this by using a spoon or by pouring the glaze into a small plastic bag, cutting off one corner, and squeezing the glaze out in a controlled manner.

 

10. Allow the glaze to set before slicing and serving the cranberry orange bread.
