Crusty bread with dried cranberries in dutch oven

No-Knead Cranberry Bread

No-kneading required and so easy! Crusty on the outside, and soft on the inside, the No-Knead Cranberry bread is festive and perfect for the holidays, but is also great for any day! Highly recommend serving warm with butter! Or spread some peanut butter and jelly on it, or make a sandwich with it!
