Time 1h5m

Yield 5 small loaves

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 pound (1 stick) butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest
2 large eggs
2/3 cup orange juice
2/3 cup milk
2/3 cup finely chopped apricots
2/3 cup chopped walnuts
3 cups cranberries, picked over and chopped in a food processor

Steps:

  • Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cream the butter and sugar in a large bowl. Beat in the orange zest and eggs, 1 at a time. Add the orange juice and milk and beat until mixed thoroughly. It will appear curdled.
  • Add the flour mixture and beat until it is just moistened. Stir in the apricots, walnuts, and cranberries.
  • Place baking rack in middle of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour five 5 3/4- by 2 1/4-inch loaf pans.
  • Pour the batter into the pans. Bake for 45 minutes. Test for doneness with a toothpick - it should come out clean. Remove the bread from the pans, transfer to a wire rack, and let them cool on their sides.
