Cranberry wild rice bread
Cranberry wild rice bread,[1] also known as wild rice cranberry bread,[2] is a type of rice bread loaf or roll with dried cranberries and wild rice mixed in. It also contains some sugar but is not a sweetbread. The origin of the dish is unknown but is was likely invented in Northern Minnesota, or Madeline Island, Wisconsin.[3]
It can be found throughout Minnesota, as well as some parts of Wisconsin, where it is common to find cranberry wild rice bread at grocery stores, restaurants, and delis.[4][5][6][7][8] It is likely popular in these states due to the large cranberry industry in Wisconsin and the wild rice industry in Minnesota.[9]
