Sweet Cranberry Bread

My neighbor gave me a jar of cranberry jam that she made herself. I plan to make a sweet bread with this jam to give her on Thanksgiving Day. It would be an appropriate gift for that special day. This bread recipe is so easy using a bread machine to help and using the cranberry jam for the filling, which is a good combination of sweetness and tartness.

Ingredients:
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup skim milk or whole milk
2 eggs
3 tbs sugar
1 tsp salt
3 tbs soft butter
3 cups bread flour
2 tsp active yeast

Filling:
1 cup cranberry jam

Directions:
Pour the water, milk, eggs, sugar, salt, butter, and flour into the bread machine's pan. Make a small indentation in the center of the flour (but not down as far as the liquid) and add the yeast. Select the dough function and press start. Remove the dough at the end of the kneading and rising cycle.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll out into a 14" x 10" rectangle.

 Spread the filling to within 1 inch of the edges.

Roll up the dough starting from one long edge like a Swiss jelly roll and tucking in the edges to seal.

 Place seam side down on a prepared baking pan.

 Cover with lightly oiled clear plastic wrap and leave to rise in a warm place for 30 or 45 minutes, or until double in size.

Preheat the oven to 350° five minutes before the dough is ready to bake. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
