Gluten Free Cranberry Nut Bread
By Babycatgrandma
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
- CRANBERRY NUT BREAD
- 2 cups gluten free flour (I used even amounts of sorghum, tapioca, and brown rice. I did not like teff flour in this bread for some reason- maybe it is just me!)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1 Tablespoon orange zest (when I mix it in the flour I make sure it looks evenly distributed and add more if I need it)
- 3/4 cup orange juice, freshly squeezed (store-bought will not achieve the right flavor)
- 1/4 cup butter or butter substitute, melted
- 2 eggs (I found that the bread held together better with two eggs)
- 1 cup whole cranberries (I tried the bread with both the cranberries whole and sliced in half and liked the cranberries added to the bread whole best)
- 3/4 cup- 1 cup walnuts chopped- (I added 3/4 to the batter and another 1/4 cup to the top of the bread before I put it in the oven)
- a little raw sugar for the top
