Cheddar Cranberry Soda Bread
- 2 12 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 12 cup vermont cheese sauce mix
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 12 teaspoon salt
- 14 cup 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inchdice
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese or 2 cups extra-sharp cheddar cheese, grated, we prefer Cabot extra-sharp
- 34 cup dried cranberries
- 34 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- 1 14 cups buttermilk (not Greek) or 34 cup plain yogurt 1/2 cup milk (not Greek)
- Preheat the oven to 375F Lightly grease an 8 1/2" x 4 1/2" loaf pan.
- Combine the flour, cheese powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Work in the butter until the mixture is crumbly.
- Stir in the cheese, cranberries, and walnuts.
- Mix the buttermilk and egg, and gently stir into the dry ingredients.
- Scoop the dough into the pan, spreading it to the edges.
- Bake the bread for 65 to 75 minutes, tenting it with foil for the final 10 to 15 minutes of baking, until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Its internal temperature at the center will be about 200F.
- Remove the bread from the oven, and loosen the edges with a table knife.
- Wait 5 minutes, then gently turn it out onto a rack to cool.
- Don't slice while hot; it'll crumble.
