Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour or spray with non-stick cooking spray a standard loaf pan (9-inch by 5-inch by 2-inch).
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
In a mixing bowl or bowl of a standing mixer, beat together the orange zest, egg, milk, orange juice, and butter.
Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Mix until fully combined and smooth. NOTE: Do not overmix the batter.
Stir in the cranberries and nuts by hand.
Spoon into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 55-minutes to 1 hour until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. NOTE: if the bread begins to over brown, set a piece of foil over the top (doesn't need to be secured to the pan) halfway through baking.
Cool in the pan until able to turn out onto a cooling rack to cool completely. Cool before slicing.
