Ingredients

For a 1.5 Pound Loaf

1 cup + 2 tablespoons water
⅓ cup honey
2 tablespoons softened margarine or butter
3 cups bread flour
1½ cups whole wheat flour
1½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground mace
2½ teaspoons yeast
½ cup cranberries

For a 2 Pound Loaf

1½ cups water
4 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons softened margarine or butter
2½ cups bread flour
1¾ cups whole wheat flour
1¾ teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon ground mace
2¾ teaspoons yeast
⅔ cup cranberries

Instructions

Measure and Add Liquids: Begin by measuring your water, honey, and softened margarine or butter and adding them to the bread pan.
Add Dry Ingredients: Next, measure all the dry ingredients except for the yeast (flours, salt, mace) and add them on top of the liquid in the bread pan.
Create a Well for Yeast: Use your finger to form a well in the flour mixture. This is crucial—make sure the well does not touch the liquid below! Carefully measure the yeast and pour it into the well.

🔍 Tip: Keeping the yeast away from the liquid until the machine begins ensures it activates properly for optimal rise.

Prepare the Breadmaker: Snap the baking pan into your breadmaker and close the lid securely.
Select Settings: Press the “Select” button to choose the Sweet setting, which enhances the flavor of the honey.
Choose Crust Color: Decide how crusty you want your bread to be by pressing the “Crust Color” button—options typically include light, medium, or dark.
Start the Process: Press the “Start/Stop” button to begin mixing and kneading.
Add Cranberries: When the bread machine beeps during the kneading cycle, carefully raise the lid. Sprinkle in the cranberries a few at a time to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

🍇 Extra Flavor: Consider soaking the cranberries in warm water for about 10 minutes prior to adding. This helps plump them up and enhances their sweetness!

Variations

Nutty Twist: Add ½ cup of walnuts or pecans for an extra crunch and flavor.
Herbal Infusion: Incorporate 1 tablespoon of finely chopped rosemary or thyme for a savory twist.
Spicy Touch: Mix in ½ teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients for a cozy, aromatic flavor.
Gluten-Free Option: Use a gluten-free bread flour blend, but be sure to add a binder, like xanthan gum, to help with texture!

This Cranberry-Wheat Bread recipe is versatile, delicious, and a great way to enjoy the wholesome goodness of whole grains and fruits! Happy baking! 🍞🥳
