Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 packet active dry yeast (about 2 1/4 teaspoons)
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- In a small bowl, stir warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.

- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes, adding the dried cranberries, raisins, and walnuts during the last few minutes.
