I have a bread machine that has been taking up valuable storage space for quite some time now.
I always want to make bread in it, but never find a recipe that sounds good. Until now!
This attractive Cranberry Wild Rice Loaf Bread Machine Recipe is sure to bring compliments.
When asked if I would review the 300 Best Bread Machine Recipes Cookbook by Donna Washburn & Heather Butt, I jumped all over it!
Yes, yes, yes!
I wanted to be able to get comfortable with my bread machine so that I could figure out what it takes to make good bread.
Once I can do that, I can start doing my own thing. Until I reach that point, though… I have 300 recipes that I can try out.
Plus, I was given permission to share a few of their yummy bread machine recipes with you!
Today, let’s talk Wild Rice and Cranberry bread!

Wild Rice & Cranberry Loaf
Tips: Prepare extra wild rice when cooking your favorite duck or goose dinner. Store in the refrigerator or freezer until needed.
See the Techniques Glossary (page 438) for instructions on cooking wild rice.
Yes, you’re reading it right: The 1.5 lb (750 g) recipe contains more yeast than the 2 lb (1 kg).
Variation: Substitute raw, unsalted sunflower seeds or unsalted peanuts for the pine nuts, and dried blueberries or dried sour cherries for the dried cranberries.

This bread looks wonderful for fall! I have a bread machine, but haven’t used it in several years. I think I need to get it out and make this bread!
Lisa/Syncopated Mama says
I’ve worn out so many bread machines, I’ve lost count, but I’ve never heard of putting rice in bread — sounds interesting!
Mary Herrera says
Great! Now is there a recipe for Portuguese Sweet Bread rolls or Hawaiian Sweet Roll/Bread? I have a recipe that I’ve tried and ( one out of three times) it was good. Don’t know what happened those two times……it turned out plain bread. I want to try a sure thing , my family asks for it. Out of 300 recipes….surely there’s one in there. Thank you. Mary

I saw this and HAD to make it. ..and OMG!!! I LOVE IT!!! I make it in my bread machine on EXPRESS (1 HOUR)!!! And it turns out wonderful every time! I did, however , only put in 1/3 cup cranberries (bought for $1 for a 1/3 cup @Dollar Store) and it was exactly like the sandwich bread that is in the convenience stores with turkey on wild rice and cranberry bread! !! And I can save a ton because I make the sandwich for WAY cheaper! !! And I just threw ALL ngredients in the machine in order listed and turned it on! !!

We used to have a bread maker and baked bread often. I miss that. I think we should start back doing that. Also, I love books from Robert Rose. The recipes are delicious and the pictures are beautiful.
