Ingredients

For the bread

  • 3 1/2 cups flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup cold butter cubed
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk

For the glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice
  • Chopped dried cranberries

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan, or line with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar and baking soda. Using a pastry cutter, blend in the butter until pea-sized crumbs form. Stir in the cranberries and orange zest.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, orange juice and buttermilk. Add to the dry ingredients and stir until a thick, sticky dough forms.
  • Using floured hands, transfer the dough to the prepared pan. Cut an X in the top using a serrated knife. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let stand for 10 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and orange juice for the glaze. Drizzle over cooled bread. Sprinkle with chopped dried cranberries.
