In this loaf, tart cranberries and hearty walnuts come together for a balance of bright sweetness and nutty crunch, all with just the slightest sourdough tang. It’s a classic flavor pairing that always feels special and one of the best-sellers in my little home bakery. It bakes perfectly using my viral Two Pan Method, or you could use a Dutch oven if you prefer.
