Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
In a separate large bowl, combine 3/4 cup of sugar, 1 cup of milk, one large egg, the zest from one orange, and 1/4 cup of freshly squeezed orange juice. Mix until well combined.
Stir in 1/4 cup of melted unsalted butter into the wet mixture until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in 1 cup of fresh or dried cranberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy!
