Dried Cranberry Bread

I was in the mood for a bread with dried cranberries today. I found this recipe with sunflower seeds - absolutely delicious! Because the bread is so moist, I can imagine it will keep well too.

Ingredients:

1 package fast-acting yeast

1 1/3 C warm water

1 Tbsp olive oil

2 Tbsp honey

1 1/4 tsp salt

3 1/2 C flour

1/2 C dried cranberries

1/3 C sunflower seeds

Directions:

1.) Mix yeast and water until frothy.

2.) Allow to rest for 5 minutes.

3.) Mix in oil, honey, and salt.

4.) Add flour, 1/2 C at a time. Stir well.

5.) Knead dough until smooth and elastic.

6.) Knead in cranberries and sunflower seeds.

7.) Place dough in a bowl and cover.

8.) Allow dough to rise in a warm place for 1 hour.

9.) Punch down dough and form into 2 loaves or desired shape.

10.) Bake at 350F until golden brown (took about 15 minutes on a baking stone).

Makes 2 small loaves.
