9. After 10 minutes, remove the bread from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Once the bread has cooled, slice it and serve it as desired. Enjoy!

Tips:

- If you don't have fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries instead. Just be sure to thaw them first and chop them into smaller pieces before adding them to the batter. - You can also add chopped nuts or dried fruit to the batter for extra flavor and texture. - To store the bread, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the fridge for up to a week. You can also freeze the bread for up to 2 months.
