Ingredients

  • 2 packages active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup cane sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 1/4 cups warm water
  • 4 cups all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup dried cranberries
  • 3/4 cup golden raisins

How To Make cranberry raisin bread

  • Step 1
    Mix yeast with warm, not hot, water. Let stand 10 minutes.
  • Step 2
    In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cane sugar, melted butter and milk until well blended, about 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in yeast mixture. Stir in the cranberries and raisins.
  • Step 3
    Beat in half the flour and knead in the other half by hand on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Step 4
    Form dough into a ball and place in a large greased bowl, turning once to coat.
  • Step 5
    Cover with a clean towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about one hour.
  • Step 6
    Punch down and divide dough in half. Form each half into a loaf and place in two greased 9" x 5" bread pans. Cover with towel and let rise in pans for 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Step 7
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake 30 to 35 minutes. Loaves are done when nicely browned and sound hollow when tapped.
  • Step 8
    Let cool on rack for 10 minutes. Loosen edges with a sharp knife. Turn out onto rack and let cool completely.
  • Step 9
