  5. Add flour mixture and blend at low speed until combined, do not over mix.
  6. Fold in cranberries and pour batter into the prepared loaf pan; sprinkle with turbinado sugar on top and bake in the center rack for about 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let the pan cool at least 25 minutes, bread should be room temperature before slicing.
