Recipes FAQ

Can I use fresh cranberries instead of dried?

Yes, you can use fresh cranberries instead of dried. However, you may need to adjust the amount of water in the recipe to compensate for the additional moisture.

Can I use a different type of nut?

Yes, you can use a different type of nut in this recipe. Pecans, almonds, or hazelnuts would all be delicious alternatives to walnuts.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure your water is warm, but not too hot. Water that is too hot can kill the yeast, preventing the bread from rising.
  • You can add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the dough for a touch of sweetness.
  • If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can use a large baking dish instead. Just make sure it has a lid or you cover it with foil.
  • If you want a more rustic-looking loaf, you can dust the top of the bread with flour before baking.
