Given the choice between a quick bread and a sweet yeast bread, I tend to prefer the latter--the gluten chew and simpler ingredient list. Inspired by cranberry orange quick bread, here is a simple yeast bread with those fruit flavors.
Cranberry Orange Yeast Bread
This cranberry orange yeast bread has delicious fruit and yeast aromas and a light sweetness. Enjoy it plain, with cream cheese, or slathered in butter for a more decadent experience.

I'd love to convince more people to make noodles from scratch -- that you don't have to be a rolling pin wizard to enjoy vibrant flavors, choosing ingredients, and the mindfulness practice of it all. Also, did you know that buckwheat is a complete protein, with all nine essential amino acids?
