Cranberry Almond Quick Bread Mix makes a thoughtful gift for bakers of any skill level. Assorted flours create this fiber-rich loaf.
Welcome to a special Sunday Supper gift-giving food idea recipes event. I say it’s special because homemade gifts, especially food are gifts from the heart.
Kits are an easy way to share your best recipes with family and friends.
I like to include key ingredients like special flours or blends that I grind myself. It saves your recipient from crawling the shelves of a health food store or specialty shop just to make your recipe.
A new loaf pan, potholder, wooden spoon, dish towel or other kitchen gadget is always a welcome addition too. You may be surprised to learn that all your friends and family don’t own every size baking dish, pie plate or cake pan out there. Who knew, right?
Add as many ingredients as you can to the kit. I add the dry ingredients including the flours (you can substitute entirely all-purpose flour if you like), a small jar of honey, craisins and nuts. You can add the salt to the flour, just remember to label it that way.
Don’t forget to print out a nice recipe page or recipe card.
Here is the recipe. Just cut and paste it into your word program.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup teff flour
- 1/4 cup sorghum flour
- 1/4 cup psyllium
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups milk, warmed
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
Instructions
- Grease a 9x4-inch loaf pan. Line with parchment allowing enough paper to cover sides and extend about 1 inch above rim. Set aside.
- Whisk together flours, psyllium and salt. Add cranberries.
- In a separate bowl, stir together melted butter, milk, honey and vinegar. Temper eggs into wet mixture.
- Stir together wet and dry ingredients.
- Pour batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle with almonds.
- Bake at 375 for 30 to 35 minutes until bottom is solid when tapped and inserted pick comes out clean.
- Cool with paper in place on bottom on a wire rack. When completely cool, remove paper and wrap tightly.
