Cranberry Orange Walnut Bread

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 9x5in loaf pan with parchment paper so that a little bit hangs out over the edges. Set aside.

2. 2

   Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Cut cold diced butter into flour mixture until it is pea sized and resembles coarse meal. Set aside.

3. 3

   In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the zest of 1 orange, 3/4 Cup of orange juice, eggs, sour cream, and vanilla.

4. 4

   Pour wet ingredients over flour/butter mixture and mix just until it is combined. Do not overmix.

5. 5

   Fold in cranberries and 1/2 cup roughly chopped roasted walnuts.

6. 6

   Pour patter into prepared loaf pan and bake in preheated oven for about 60 minutes until toothpick comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool on wire rack for about 15 minutes before removing from pan and letting it cool completely on wire rack.

7. 7

   Once cool, whisk together powdered sugar, 1/4 teaspoon grated orange zest, and 1/4 cup roughly chopped roasted walnuts. Add orange juice tablespoon by tablespoon until desired thickness is reached (thick syrup). Place a piece of parchment paper under wire rack and slowly pour glaze over the loaf of bread. (trick: to set glaze fast, place glazed bread under heated broiler for 20 to 30 seconds - remove and let cool before slicing)
