Dry ingredients in the bowl & mixing in the liquids...
On low speed - until the mixture forms a ball of dough...
On a floured surface, adding the cranberries & then chopped walnuts...
All combined...
2 hour fermentation at room temperature...& dough doubles in size...
Formed into a log, brushed with egg wash & proofed for 90 minutes at room temperature...
Dough doubles in size in pan...add more egg wash & bake at 325 degrees for about 50 minutes...rotating pan half way through baking time...
Beautiful golden brown on the outside...
Beautiful texture & crumb on the inside...
Wonderful toasted as well!
**I halfed the recipe & made only one loaf instead of the much prettier double braid. A very tasty bread!

Now my celebration bread was not pretty - at all! Tasted great but...yours looks delish! And perfect! Happy baking!
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful loaf. The toasted shot is so yummy looking.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful loaf! Unlike mine which toppled over into a weird shape. But it was still delicious. Your pics are taking me back and making me want to make it again!
ReplyDeleteLoved the look of your bread. Would have liked to reach out and nibble a bit while I was surfing the net. Yummy.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking bread! I was not looking forward to making this one, but now it is one of my favorites!
