Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup warm milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons honey (for glaze)
  • 1 tablespoon water (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add melted butter, egg, flour, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix to form a dough and knead on a floured surface 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  3. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise about 1 hour until doubled in size.
  4. Punch down dough, then roll into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle. Sprinkle cranberries and almonds evenly over the surface.
  5. Cut into strips, stack them, then cut into squares. Layer squares in a greased loaf pan.
  6. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake 25–30 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Meanwhile, warm honey and water together to make a glaze.
  9. Drizzle glaze over baked bread, let cool slightly, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Swap cranberries for dried cherries or raisins for variation.
  • Add white chocolate chips for extra sweetness.
  • Enhance with orange zest for a citrus note.
  • Replace almonds with pecans or walnuts for nuttier flavor.
  • Can also be baked in a round cake pan instead of a loaf pan.
