What is Cranberry Bread?

Cranberry is a very popular quick bread in November and December. Made with fresh or dried cranberries, it’s a great holiday staple.

If you are not familiar with quick breads, they are simply an easy way to make a homemade loaf of bread using baking powder instead of yeast. This means that they cook up in about half the time of a real loaf of bread. Hence the name quick bread. 

Cranberry bread is different from banana bread, except the primary flavor tasted throughout the bread is cranberries.
