Prepare the yeast mixture by stirring together warm water (120°F - 125°F) and instant yeast in a small bowl. Let stand for 10 minutes so that the ingredients can combine properly.
In a separate large bowl, mix together all-purpose flour, salt, walnuts, cranberries, honey, and the prepared yeast.
Knead the mixture together for about 10 minutes until a dough forms. Then, place it in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a kitchen towel. Let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour. **
Oil a 9x13 baking pan and transfer the dough to it. Shape into an even rectangle and let rise again.
Preheat the oven to 350°F and bake for 40 - 45 minutes, or until bread is cooked through. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a cooling rack. Slice to serve.
Notes
Use fresh ingredients – the fresher the ingredients, the better the taste. Make sure to use high-quality flour and instant yeast for a great texture.
If you have time, let the bread rise twice. This will create a nice light and airy loaf that is full of flavor!
When shaping the loaf, make sure it's an even rectangle so that it cooks evenly in the oven.
Don't cut the bread too soon; let it cool completely before slicing.
This Cranberry Walnut Bread is best served warm with butter or cream cheese spread on top. It can also be used for sandwiches, French toast, and more!
