Step-by-Step Instructions for Cranberry Bliss Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, and kosher salt.
  3. Cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, then add eggs one at a time.
  4. Alternately add the dry mixture and buttermilk to the butter mixture, folding in the cranberries and white chocolate chips.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for approximately 1 hour until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
