- Allow the bread to cool for roughly 15min before slicing.

Notes
The bread batter will be very, very thick, but is how it is supposed to be so don't worry!
You can sub-dried cranberries in place of fresh or frozen ones. If you do though I would recommend cutting down on the measurement, and adding a little more liquid to the batter.
Be sure to fold the cranberries in very gently, you don't want to break or crush them. You also don't want to color the bread batter.
Cranberry orange bread can be stored on the counter for up to 5-days. It can also be made ahead of time, as well as easily reheated in the oven.
