Description

A festive twist on classic cranberry bread, this savory version blends tart fresh cranberries with aromatic rosemary and sharp cheddar cheese, making it the perfect holiday side or snack. Moist and flavorful, it’s an easy-to-make loaf that balances savory herbs and cheese with bursts of cranberry tartness.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Add-ins

  • ½ cup fresh cranberries, chopped
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tbsp chopped rosemary

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and olive oil until smooth and blended.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
  5. Fold in Add-ins: Carefully fold in the chopped fresh cranberries, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped rosemary into the batter evenly.
  6. Bake the Bread: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature with herb butter or cream cheese if desired.

Notes

  • Serve with herb butter or cream cheese for added richness.
  • You can substitute fresh cranberries with dried cranberries, but reduce the sugar slightly to balance sweetness.
  • Ensure not to overmix the batter to prevent a dense loaf.
  • The bread pairs well with soups, salads, or as a savory snack.
