Sweet and Spicy Cranberry Orange Bread

Submitted by Susan from WV

"A wonderful bread to give away during the holidays!"

Ingredients:
2 cups all purpose flour (you can use 1/2 whole wheat then add more liquid later)
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda (this used to be less, but as a vegan recipe... it needs more)
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1/4- 1/2 cup water to loosen dough (depending on flour)
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 tbsp grated orange peel
1 egg substitute
1 cup raw cranberries (you can use dried, but soak them a little first)
1/4 tsp cloves or allspice
1/4 tsp nutmeg
2 tsp vanilla extract (use the real thing!)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a bowl mix the dry ingredients. Separately mix the egg sub, juice, peel, oil, and vanilla. Stir the dry into the wet mixture a little bit at a time. I usually hand mix this recipe, so I use a wooden spoonful at a time. Fold in the cranberries. Bake in a greased loaf pan or small cake pan for one hour, and check with a fork to see if it's done (i.e.: the fork will come out clean).

Note: You can also make this into muffins, but you have to really keep your eye on it because it will significantly cut the cooking time.
