This super moist bread gives you the best of both worlds. It's a great way eat a little healthier without sacraficing great taste. This bread is a little on the sweet side, but I feel that it complements the cranberry orange flavor perfectly. The whole wheat pastry flour is a softer grain of wheat & produces a lighter texture than regular whole wheat flour. I used Enova Oil which claims to be one of the healthier oils, but recipezaar didn't recognize that ingredient so I listed safflower oil which is very similar. (Enova is made with soybean oil which some are allergic to.)You may want to use slightly less than 1/3 cup oil. Orange peel is in the spice section. Best served warm - reheat leftovers in microwave 30 seconds. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour |
1/4 cup wheat bran, unprocessed |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup sugar |
1 large egg |
1/2 cup 2% low-fat milk |
1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream |
1/3 cup safflower oil |
1 1/2 cups whole berry cranberry sauce |
1 tablespoon orange peel |
1/2 teaspoon orange extract |
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Grease 2 regular size bread pans.
3. Thoroughly combine the flour, whole wheat pastry flour, wheat bran, baking powder, baking soda, salt & sugar in a medium bowl.
4. In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the egg, milk, sour cream, oil, cranberry sauce, orange peel & orange extract.
5. Add the dry ingredients to the liquid ingredients; mixing until just moistened; do not over mix.
6. Pour into bread pans.
7. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
