Cranberry Walnut Bread
- 3/4 cup butter, room temperature
- 3 cups white sugar
- 3 eggs, room temperature
- 3 tablespoons orange zest
- 6 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 4 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 1/4 cups orange juice
- 3 cups whole cranberries
- 1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Grease three 8x4-inch loaf pans.
- Line bottoms with parchment paper, if desired.
- Beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
- Add the room-temperature eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next.
- Stir in the orange zest.
- Sift together the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda.
- Add to the egg mixture, alternating with orange juice.
- Coarsely chop the cranberries.
- Pour the flour mixture into the mixing bowl alternately with the orange juice, mixing until just incorporated.
- Fold in the chopped cranberries and walnuts, mixing just enough to evenly combine.
- Divide the batter evenly among prepared pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- Check for browning: cover the tops with aluminum foil to prevent them from becoming too dark.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaves comes out clean, about 30 minutes more.
- Cool on wire racks.
