I would like a recipe for cranberry walnut bread like that sold at Starbucks.
Cricket from WV
use a food processor to chop the walnuts and cranberries if you have one- its a huge timesaver!
3/4 cup butter
3 cups white sugar
3 eggs, beaten
6 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
2 1/4 cups orange juice
3 tablespoons orange zest
3 cups chopped cranberries
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts

DIRECTIONS:
I've had cranberry walnut muffins at Starbucks and they are wonderful. I wonder if this recipe could be adapted to muffins? Anyone know?
BEST I'VE EVER HAD!!!
This makes 3 small loaves.
4 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1 tsp each salt, baking powder, baking soda
mix all dry ing. together in lg bowl
To Debbie52: I'd cut the recipe in half or third (one egg) and try it for muffins. The cooking time / temp might need to be adjusted but on first try check other muffin recipes, make best guess and *write down any variations* you may use.
I have 3 questions. Do you have to use baking powder when using self-rising flour? Can you use dried cranberries instead of fresh/frozen? Can you use 1/4 cup vegetable oil instead of butter?
By Gloria R.
You can use dried crans instead of fresh.
Self-rising flour already has baking powder in the mix-you can check the package ingredients to be sure.
You can substitute oil for butter, same measurements.
The result of changes 1 and 3 will be a somewhat different bread. If I were making the recipe, I would soak the dried crans in warm water for a couple of hours and I would not substitute oil for butter.
Can these recipes (oven baked bread) be adapted for a bread machine?
By R
Yes, just make sure your bread machine is big enough for the recipe. Use quick acting yeast and put the ingredients in the pan according to the manufacturers directions. I always put mine on the dough cycle and then bake it in my oven. But you can do the whole thing in your bread maker if you wish.
