    Step 10 - Add the cranberry bread batter to the prepared baking pan.

    Step 11 - Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes.

    Step 12 - Then, increase the oven temperature to 375 degree Fahrenheit and bake for another 25 to 30 minutes until the bread is completely cooked (a toothpick inserted at the center of the bread should come out clean once it is fully baked). The top of the bread usually will have cracks and will have a golden brown color, while the inside will be slightly pink color from the cranberry sauce!

    Step 13 - If the inside of the bread is not completely cooked after the top is browned, cover the top of the baking pan with foil and continue baking for another few more minutes until the bread is completely baked.

    Step 14 - Once the bread is baked, immediately transfer it from the hot oven and allow the bread to cool down.
