How to Store Leftovers
If you happen to have any leftover Cranberry Bread (though it’s rare with such a tasty treat!), you can store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can also freeze the bread by wrapping it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil before placing it in a freezer-safe bag or container. To thaw, simply let the bread sit at room temperature for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Can I use dried cranberries instead of fresh or frozen? A: Yes, you can substitute dried cranberries for fresh or frozen in this recipe. Just be aware that dried cranberries are sweeter and less tart than fresh or frozen, so you may want to adjust the amount of sugar in the recipe accordingly.
Q: Can I use regular milk instead of buttermilk? A: While buttermilk provides a tangy flavor and tender texture to the bread, you can use regular milk as a substitute if necessary. Simply add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 cup of milk and let it sit for 5 minutes to sour before using it in the recipe.
Q: Can I omit the crumble topping? A: While the crumble topping adds a deliciously sweet and crunchy texture to the bread, you can certainly omit it if desired. The bread will still be moist and flavorful without it.
