Cranberry Chocolate Ring Bread

While christmas, we guys go for christmas market which is well known as Marché de Nôel, where the professionals and farmers used to sell their own products directly in their own store to us, we can get easily many regional products which are quite a hard task to get usually..Last time we went to this market, i got an opportunity to get dried cranberries from there and i didnt want to miss the chance..Immediately i bought half kg of this dried cranberries and  am ready to make bakes with them throughout the year, sterday i tried making this simple bread with those dry fruits with few chocolate chunks and this bread turned out truly fabulous eventhough the shape of the bread wasnt that much prefect, coz my son helped me to prepare this bread..He loved kneading and shaping this bread and i enjoyed watching the way he shaped the bread by following my instructions..He was very proud of his bread,definitely am very proud of him too..We enjoyed this bread when they were still warm, needless to say the oozing chocolate tastes extremely irresistible while having this ring bread loaves..Sending to Srivalli's Kid's Delight - Chocolate Feast..
