Ingredients
Cranberry Bread
- Ingredients
- 14 ozs Whole wheat flour
- 4 ozs ground almonds
- 1 pinch Dry yeast
- 3 Tbsps Raw cane sugar
- ¾ cup
- 2 ozs butter
- 2 eggs
- 4 ozs Almond slivers
- 4 ozs dried Cranberry
Mix together the flour, ground almonds, yeast and sugar in a mixing bowl.
Heat 1/2 cup of milk and the butter in a pot until lukewarm.
Add milk-butter mixture and eggs to the flour mixture and knead with the dough hook of a hand mixer until smooth.
Cover and let rise in a warm place until dough has almost doubled in bulk, about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, toast the almond slivers in a dry pan until golden brown.
Add the dried cranberries and almonds to the dough and knead to combine. Shape into an oblong loaf and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover and let rise again in a warm place for about 20 minutes.
Brush the dough with the remaining milk and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F/convection 325°F until golden brown and firm to the touch, 30-40 minutes.

Healthy, because
Cranberries are the shooting star among the berry fruits. They not only contain many cell-protecting antioxidants, but also an active ingredient cocktail which experts believe helps to prevent urinary tract infections: the mix of different ingredients prevents bacteria from settling in the urinary tract.

Replace the almonds with chopped walnut kernels. Walnuts are one of the most valuable sources of omega-3 fatty acids, which can positively influence the course of chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatism.
