Ingredients

• 3.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 cups sugar
• 1 cups cranberry sauce (whole berry or jellied)
• 0.5 cups milk
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Add the ingredients to your bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Typically, liquids come first, followed by dry ingredients, and yeast added last.

Step 2

Start by pouring the milk into the bread machine pan, followed by the melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.

Step 3

Add the cranberry sauce evenly on top of the liquids.

Step 4

Sprinkle the flour over the liquids, ensuring it covers them completely.

Step 5

Add the sugar and salt on opposite sides of the flour.

Step 6

Create a small well in the center of the flour, but do not go down to the liquid layer. Add the instant yeast to this well.

Step 7

Set the bread machine to the 'Sweet Bread' or 'Basic Bread' cycle and select your desired crust color (light or medium recommended).

Step 8

Start the machine and let the dough knead, rise, and bake. This process typically takes about 3 hours, depending on the bread machine model.

Step 9

Once the baking cycle is complete, carefully remove the pan from the machine using oven mitts.

Step 10

Allow the bread to cool for 10 minutes in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Slice and serve as breakfast or dessert. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
