This is a wonderful way to make bread...using a food processor! I've never made bread using this method and it turned out wonderful. I added some dried, sweetened cranberries to the mix to make my all-time favorite Cranberry-Walnut Bread and I was not disappointed. We ate it fresh with cream cheese and I plan on using the loaf for my breakfast during the coming week. Thanks so much Ellie, we loved this bread!

I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
