It must be something in the air. There were several discussions a week or so ago among family AND friends about how I used to make homemade cinnamon bread (mmmm, delicious) and white bread and onion bread and, and, and.... all the time and how I rarely do it anymore. I suggested that perhaps it might have had something to do with being home with kids and then as they got older, being on a schedule that revolved around driving them everywhere, but once I went back to work.........the time and enthusiasm was gone!! I think the goal was to make me feel guilty, but it didn’t work!! I just went to Panera’s and picked up a loaf of their cinnamon-raisin bread which is nearly as good!! ;)
I am going to try your receipe, but have a question. Cooked cranberry or raw? I am guessing raw, but just wanted to check. I have a fantastic cranberry coffeecake recipe that is just wonderful - will email it to you one of these days!!

J - made it in the oven. I’ve been thinking about making a couple of small round loaves of yeast bread, too, so I can try hollowing them out and melting the brie in them. That still has my mouth watering!
There’s something about autumn that brings out the yen for baking, Cyn. The recipe calls for fresh raw cranberries, but a generous handful of dried cranberries works just as well, too. When I use those, I soak them in hot water for a few minutes before I add them. I really don’t know how cooked ones would work. They might make the bread a little soggy, but I don’t know.

Oh, good ideas! J also mentioned beef stew. I like this idea of being able to eat the dish! Chili really strikes me right. I need to make some soon.

Bread maker or oven? No one has left me alone since the first loaf I made. They now only want homemade bread,again. What have I done? I should have never let on to E that I knew how to make it, and that I used to make it for the kids all the time. Those little buggers gave me away!
