Cranberry Orange Breakfast Bread

Let the bread machine do the heavy lifting while you sleep.

This honey-sweetened yeast bread is loaded with dried cranberries, chopped walnuts, and a warm hit of cinnamon and allspice. Orange juice and fresh zest run through the whole loaf, giving it a bright citrus aroma that fills the kitchen before you even slice into it.

The secret ingredient? Malted milk powder. It adds a subtle richness to the crumb that plain sugar just can’t match.

Dump everything in the pan, press start, and walk away. Breakfast is handled.

Kitchen Tips

• Add cranberries and walnuts at the fruit signal (or 5 minutes before the knead cycle ends) so they stay chunky instead of getting pulverized.
• Use room temperature orange juice so the yeast activates properly.
• This bread freezes beautifully. Slice it first, then freeze so you can grab individual pieces for toast.
