Cranberry-Walnut Celebration Bread - BBA Challenge #11

If you like cranberries and walnuts, this week bread is for you.

This dough can be baked in a loaf pan, as freestanding boules or braided.
The braids stacked on top of each other:

Here, the top braid listing to the left. I tried to encourage it back to the right before popping it in the oven but it wouldn't budge.

The crumb shot. This bread had a lot of cranberries and walnuts. It tasted great plain or toasted.
Up next... English muffins.

    I liked your bread. Very yummy looking. I really enjoyed the English muffins. In fact, that is tomorrow breakfast, English Muffin with peanut butter and jelly.
