INGREDIENT NOTES:

ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR:

  • This flour will make a good bread shape. For using something else, use whole wheat flour.

CRANBERRIES:

  • These are one of the main products in this bread recipe. They include fruitiness in the bread. Using the fresh ones will give the best results. For an alternative, use dry cranberries with less sugar.

SWEETENER:

  • The sweetener will not include as many calories and WW points as sugar. It still provides a sweet taste to the bread. Using monk fruit is also an option.

NON-FAT GREEK YOGURT:

  • This is necessary for softness in the bread. This ingredient is WW-friendly. Using low-fat yogurt will also work fine.

ORANGE JUICE:

  • The classic citrus taste will come from using orange juice, and it is the main flavor in this bread. For an alternative, use orange juice from the bottle.

ORANGE ZEST:

  • Another important thing for orange taste is the zest. It also makes the bread smell like orange.

EGGS:

  • We need eggs for the bread batter to mix thoroughly. If you require a substitution, use an egg substitute.

VANILLA EXTRACT:

  • It can easily maintain the strong tart taste of the cranberries.

BAKING POWDER & SODA:

  • Both of them lift the bread when it bakes.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Warm your oven to 180°C.

  8. Cool it down and then cut it up.
