Mmmmm. This bread was wonderful. It was gently sweet and tender. The crust was dry and crunchy, without being crusty, and the slightly caramelized flavour was deep, dark and smokey. Rick and I enjoyed this bread, and he asked me to make it again. I said yes, for sure.

Cranberries soaking.
Taking the skins off the toasted walnuts.
Dropping the biga into the cranberry liquid.
The dough mixing.
The bread dough was stiff and wasn’t accepting the nuts very well.
The dough wasn’t soft and pliable. I had to take out the “equipment” (a rolling pin)
Where normally the dough pushes into place, this time I had to roll it into a rectangle.
Still rolling.
Adding the cranberries.
Rolling up the cranberries into the bread dough.
The dough was still really stiff.
Seems like too many cranberries.
Giving the bread dough some extra love.
Taking the dough to its warm spot.
The next morning.
Measuring the rectangle with a kitchen ruler.
Pinching the seam.
The dough has finally risen for the last time.
Sprinkling the unbaked dough with rye flour.
