  Transfer mixture to prepared pan. Bake the 9x5 loaf pan for 40-50 minutes and the mini-loaf pans for 20-30 minutes. Bread is done when nicely browned and a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on rack for 10 minutes; remove from pan and cool completely. Wrap and store overnight. Glaze if desired and garnish with a few dried cranberries and chopped walnuts.
