Ingredients

• 0.75 cup Water
• 0.25 cup Orange juice
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1.5 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 0.75 cup Dried cranberries
• 0.25 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Add the water, orange juice, unsalted butter, and honey to the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer.

Step 2

Measure and add the all-purpose flour, salt, and ground cinnamon on top of the wet ingredients, covering them evenly.

Step 3

Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the active dry yeast. Ensure it does not touch the liquids.

Step 4

Place the bread machine pan into the machine and select the 'Sweet Bread' or 'Basic Bread' cycle, with your desired crust setting (light, medium, or dark).

Step 5

Once the bread machine beeps to signal it's time for additional ingredients, add the dried cranberries and optional chopped walnuts.

Step 6

Allow the bread machine to complete the cycle, including kneading, rising, and baking, which typically takes about 2.5 to 3 hours.

Step 7

When the bread is finished baking, carefully remove the pan using an oven mitt. Let the bread sit in the pan for 5 minutes to cool slightly.

Step 8

Turn the bread out onto a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing and serving.
