If you are looking for a simple + easy breakfast bread, I highly recommend this one. You can whip it up the night before and enjoy a yummy breakfast with your family the next morning.
Ingredients
- 1 box of Bountiful Beer Bread Mix (Don’t let the name fool you!!)
-
12 ounces of orange juice
-
2/3 cups of Craisins
-
3 tablespoons of melted butter – optional
Directions
-
Pre-heat oven to 375°.
-
Spray a 9x5 loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. This one here is my personal favorite for baking.
-
Mix together the bread mix as directed using orange juice.
-
Stir in the dried cranberries and spread this mixture into your greased loaf pan.
-
Pour the melted butter on top, if desired.
-
Bake for approximately 45 – 50 minutes until the loaf of bread is golden brown and pulls away from the side of the pan.
- Remove from pan and cool on rack for about 30 minutes before slicing.
-
Wrap in foil and try your BEST to wait until morning not to sneak a bite.
Additional Tips
-
Don’t let the “beer bread” name of the bread mix scare you away. This stuff is so yummy, whether you decide to cook it using alcohol or not. This particular recipe simply substitutes orange juice for the carbonated beverage and it really makes the bread so moist.
-
I also like to add in some walnuts for a different twist sometimes.
-
In the morning, we like to slice it up and then warm it in the microwave for a few seconds. Gives it that fresh out of the oven feel to it once again!
-
You can also purchase this particular bread mix in a 3 pack value pack (if you are addicted to it like I am) or if you need the gluten free version or want a wheat bread mix then that is an option too.
Leave me a comment if you decide to try out this yummy breakfast bread!! It certainly is a hit at our house!!
