Cinnamon Cranberry Bread Bread Machine Recipes

BREAD MACHINE CRANBERRY BREAD (WITH WALNUTS)

Steps:

• Bread machine settings - 1.5 lb, light color and "basic" bread setting.
• Unplug the bread machine and then remove the bread pan from the bread machine.
• Add the milk & softened butter into the bread pan and then add the other ingredients (except the dried cranberries & chopped walnuts - they are added later).
• Place the bread machine yeast in last and the yeast should not touch the liquid or salt (until the bread machine is turned on and the ingredients start to be mixed together). Some people like to make a small "divot" on top of the flour in order to hold the yeast in one spot before the machine starts.
• Put the bread pan (with ingredients) back into the bread machine, close the bread machine lid and then plug in the bread machine.
• Enter the correct settings (1.5 lb, light color & basic bread) and press the "start" button.
• When the bread machine's first mixing cycle has stopped and before the second (& final) mixing cycle starts, you should add the dried cranberries & chopped walnuts. FYI - See your bread machine manual on when & how to add fruits & nuts when using your bread machine. Always follow the manufacturer instructions for your specific bread machine.
• When the bread machine has finished baking the bread, unplug the bread machine.
• Remove the bread pan from the unplugged bread machine. Use oven mitts when removing the bread machine container (bread pan) as it will be very hot!
• Take the bread out of the bread pan and place the bread on a wire cooling rack. Wear oven mitts.
• After removing the bread, don't forget to remove the mixing paddle if it is stuck in the bread. Use oven mitts as the mixing paddle will be very hot coming out of the bread machine. Or wait until the bread is completely cooled and then remove the mixing paddle.

CRANBERRY CINNAMON BREAD (BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• Add to your bread maker according to instructions.
• Add the cranberries and cinnamon at the proper time called for with your machine.
• Use light crust setting.

BREAD MACHINE CINNAMON-RAISIN BREAD

Steps:

• Measure carefully, placing all ingredients except raisins in bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Add raisins at the Raisin/Nut signal or 5 to 10 minutes before last kneading cycle ends.
• Select Sweet or Basic/White cycle. Use Medium or Light crust color. Remove baked bread from pan and cool on wire rack.

CINNAMON CRANBERRY RAISIN BREAD

Steps:

• 1. Cut the cube of butter into lots of little pieces and toss with about 1 Tablespoon of flour. Set aside to soften.
• 2. In a small saucepan, heat the milk until steamy. This helps scald the milk, which kills enzymes that might inhibit yeast growth. (This is why the original recipe calls for dry milk, which I do not regularly carry. Dry milk is missing this enzyme.) Pour in the cool water which will help cool the milk. You want to make sure the milk is not over 110 degrees or it will kill the yeast.
• 3. In the bowl of a standing mixer, put the flour, sugar and yeast and whisk. Add the cooled milk/water mixture with the egg. Using a wooden spoon, start mixing the liquids with the dry goods. Add the dough hook and let it run on medium low until it is a cohesive mass, about 2 minutes.Cover with plastic wrap and let sit 20 minutes.
• 4. Turn the mixer on again and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes more. Now add the butter bits one at a time, mixing until incorporated into the dough. It will seem too slick at first but should absorb into the dough. If you absolutely need to, add a bit of flour to keep it from being too sticky. Add the raisins/cranberries and mix 1 more minute.Remove bowl from machine.
• 5. Using a bowl scraper, or rubber spatula, fold dough over itself by gently lifting and folding edge of dough toward middle. Turn bowl 90 degrees; fold again. Turn bowl and fold dough 6 more times (total of 8 folds).
• 6. For this loaf, put a pan of boiling hot water in a bowl or cake pan in the oven, cover the dough with plastic wrap or a damp tea towel and place in the oven to rise for about 45 minutes. I like to prepare my loaf pans with parchment paper for this bread, in case it leaks and gets sticky. I just cut a piece to be as long as the loaf pan, then press it in, letting it overlap the sides. Then I can lift the bread out with the parchment.
• 7. After the first rise, take the dough out and gently deflate. Repeat folding steps 8 times, cover and let rise again 45 minutes. This is going to give it a fine crumb.
• 8. Whisk filling ingredients together and set aside. (I have never seen powdered sugar used in filling before. But it has corn starch in it, which would help keep filling in-tact.)
• 9. Divide the dough into 2 pieces.Roll the dough, one piece at at time, to about 7" x 18". Use a misting bottle to spray water over the dough. Then sprinkle half the filling over it and mist with more water, just to keep in intact, not runny. Roll up, pinch edges and work on the next one.
• 10. Before putting them in the pan, its time to twist! (the fun part). Lay one of the logs of dough in front of you. starting about 1 inch from one end, cut the dough in half down the long center. Gently turn the cut sides slightly up and start twisting them one over the other, round and round. Then seal the ends and place in the pans.
• 11. Cover and let rise (right on the counter tops this time) about an hour, until its about 1" above the loaf pan.Preheat the oven to 350. Mix your egg with a teaspoon of water or milk to make an egg wash and brush this over the loaves right before putting the oven.(you could sprinkle with some cinnamon sugar at this point, but keep in mind it will darken the loaves quite a bit.)
• 12. Place the loaves in the oven and bake until well browned about 25 minutes.(If it is getting too brown for your taste, lightly cover with a piece of aluminium foil.) Then reduce the oven temperature to 325 and bake another 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reached 190-200 degrees.Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove to a rack to continue cooling. Slice it up and enjoy!

CINNAMON SWIRL BREAD FOR THE BREAD MACHINE

Steps:

• Place milk, eggs, 1/4 cup butter, bread flour, sugar, salt, and yeast into a bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer, select the dough setting, and start the machine. When dough cycle is complete, transfer dough to a floured work surface and punch down. Let dough rest for 10 minutes.
• Mix walnuts, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl.
• Divide dough in half and roll each half into a rectangle about 9x14 inches. Spread 1 tablespoon softened butter over the top of each dough rectangle and evenly sprinkle dough with half the walnut mixture. Roll dough rectangles, starting from the short ends, and pinch seams closed.
• Grease 2 9x5-inch loaf pans. Fit the rolled loaves into the loaf pans with seam sides down. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake loaves in the preheated oven until lightly golden brown and bread sounds hollow when tapped, about 30 minutes. If loaves brown too quickly, lightly cover with aluminum foil for the last 10 minutes of baking. Let bread cool for 10 minutes before removing to finish cooling on wire racks. Sprinkle tops of each loaf with 1 teaspoon confectioners' sugar.

RICH RAISIN AND CRANBERRY LOAF (BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• 1. OPTIONAL: I like to soak raisins/cranberries in hot water until soft. This will make them plumper and softer and keep fruit on outside of loaf from burning. If you prefer not to do this, mix dried fruit w/ pinch of flour and toss. This will keep fruit from sticking together.
• 2. Place ingredients, in order listed, in bread pan. Select loaf size (2 LB) and crust preference. I use a light setting for a tender loaf. Choose sweet bread program and start bread maker.
• 3. Add fruit when mix-in tone sounds or when appropriate for your maker. When cycle is complete, remove bread from pan to wire rack to cool completely prior to slicing. Take a whiff of that heavenly yeasty cinnamon fragrance and ENJOY!
