Cranberry Semolina Tea Bread adapted from http://fooddownunder.com/cgi-bin/recipet.cgi?r=79025&y=6
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup semolina flour (if you can't find it, substitute yellow cornmeal) 2 tsp baking powder ½ tsp salt 4 lrg eggs ⅔ cup sugar ⅔ cup butter (about 1⅓ sticks) 2 or 3 tsp grated orange peel (zest of 1 med orange) 1 tbl vanilla extract 1 tsp almond extract cup dried cranberries ½ cup coarsely-chopped unsalted walnuts
Butter and flour (using semolina flour) three loaf pans (3 ” x 6" each) or two loaf pans (3½” x 7½” each).
In a large bowl, mix all-purpose flour, semolina flour, baking powder, and salt.
If using butter, in another bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar; add eggs one at a time, blending each in thoroughly; add in citrus peel, and vanilla and almond extracts. Fold in dry mixture about ½ cup at a time and blend just until evenly moistened.
Gently fold in cranberries and nuts using a spatula. Scoop batter equally into prepared pans.
Bake in a 350 degree regular or convection oven until bread is golden brown and a wood skewer inserted in center of loaves comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool bread in pans on a rack for 10 minutes. If not using a non-stick pan, run a spatula or knife between bread and pan sides, then invert pans to release bread; set loaves upright on rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
