Combine the yeast, maple syrup and water in a jug and stir to combine. Set aside in a warm place for 5-10 minutes until mixture foams.
In a large mixing bowl add the flour, spices, cranberries, pistachios, oil, water and yeast mixture, mix until combined. Lightly flour bench, turn out dough and knead for 5 minutes until smooth. Place in a lightly greased bowl, cover and sit in a warm place for one hour until doubled in size.
