1 cup whole wheat flour

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup dried cranberries

1. Mix yeast, warm water, and honey in large bowl; let stand 5

wheat flour, and salt, mixing until smooth. Mix in cranberries, walnuts,

and enough remaining 1 cup all-purpose flour to make smooth dough.

minutes. Place dough in greased bowl; let rise, covered, in warm place

until double in size 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Punch down dough.

loosely covered, until double in size, about 45 minutes.

 

4. Brush top of loaf with skim milk, if using. Bake at 375 degrees until

loaf is golden and sounds hollow when tapped, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove

from pan and cool on wire rack.
