Orange Cranberry Bread with Glaze

Ingredients

To make the bread, you will need:

• 2 cups regular flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 3/4 cup orange juice
• Grated peel of 1 orange
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups fresh cranberries

For the Glaze:

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons orange juice
• 1/2 teaspoon orange zest

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch baking pan with oil or butter.
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, orange juice, grated orange peel, egg, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
4. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the cranberries.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. To make the glaze, mix the powdered sugar, orange juice, and orange zest together. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread.
