Easy Whole Wheat Cranberry Bread Recipe with a Dough Maker
Recipe Overview
This whole wheat cranberry bread is made with whole wheat flour, bread flour, sourdough starter, and dried cranberries. It has a rich grain aroma with a sweet and slightly tart cranberry flavor. The key steps are mixing all ingredients except salt and butter first, then adding the salt and butter, followed by the dried cranberries.
