Cuisinart DLC-2007NC manual Cranberry Orange Bread

In a 2-cup (500 ml) liquid measure, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let stand until foamy, about 3 to 5 minutes. Insert metal blade in work bowl and add flour, olive oil and salt. Add cold water to yeast mixture.

With machine running, pour liquid through small feed tube as fast as flour absorbs it. Process until dough cleans sides of work bowl and forms a ball. Then process for 30 seconds to knead dough. Dough may be slightly sticky. Coat the dough lightly with olive oil, place in a plastic food storage bag and seal the top. Let rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes.

Place dough on a lightly floured surface and punch down. Roll into desired crust size(s) and follow pizza recipe.

Cranberry – Orange Bread

Apples make this bread very moist – for a breakfast treat, slice and toast.

	Makes 1 loaf (14 slices)
Cooking spray	1	small apple (about 5 ounces [142 g]
1-1/4 cups (300 ml) unbleached all-purpose		total), peeled, cored, cut into 1-inch

flour (2.5 cm) pieces

1-1/2 teaspoons (7 ml) baking powder

1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) salt

3/4 cup (175 ml) pecan halves, shells removed

3strips orange zest, bitter white pith removed

2/3 cup (150 ml) sugar

1 large egg

1/2 teaspoon (2 ml) vanilla extract

1/4 cup (50 ml) unsalted butter, melted

3 tablespoons (45 ml) buttermilk

1/3 cup (75 ml) plus 1 tablespoon (15 ml) dried cranberries

Preheat oven to 350˚F (177˚C). Lightly spray an 8 x 4-inch (20 x 10 cm) loaf pan with cooking spray. In a small bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt. Reserve. Insert metal blade and pulse to coarsely chop pecans, about 6 times. Remove and reserve.

Process orange zest and sugar until zest is finely chopped, about 45 seconds. Add apple, egg and vanilla; process until combined, about 15 to 20 seconds. With machine running, add butter and buttermilk through the small feed tube. Process until combined, about 10 to 15 seconds. Scrape the work bowl. Add cranberries, pecans and dry ingredients. Pulse until flour is just mixed in, about 5 to 6 times. Do not overprocess.

Transfer batter to prepared pan. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean, about 55 to 60 minutes. Cool in pan on a wire rack. Remove from pan and cool completely. For best results, wrap in plastic wrap and allow to rest for 24 hours before slicing.

Preparation: 10 – 15 minutes, 2 hours to bake and cool
