Notes
- Butter Prep – Be sure your butter is soft but not melted before creaming; it should blend smoothly with the sugar to create a light, fluffy base for your bread.
- Orange Zest – Use fresh zest from two oranges, avoiding the white pith — that vibrant peel is where the real citrus perfume lives.
- Cranberry Tip – If using frozen cranberries, don’t thaw them before mixing; this keeps their juices from tinting the batter too early.
- Batter Mixing – Stir the dry ingredients gently into the wet just until combined — overmixing will toughen the crumb instead of keeping it tender and moist.
- Serving Idea – A simple orange glaze or a dusting of powdered sugar turns this humble loaf into a holiday showstopper.
