Breads Yeast

Orange 01

Orange Bread

3 1/2 cups high gluten bread flour
1/2 cake yeast or one packet of dried yeast
1 1/2 cups orange juice and pulp (Fresh Squeezed)
1/2 cup diced, candied orange peel
1 teaspoon of salt

Using about four medium sized oranges, squeeze them and add the
pulp until you have 1 1/2 cups of juice and pulp. Add the yeast to
this and allow to dissolve and start to work. You may need more or
less oranges.

In a large bowl, place the 3 1/2 cups of flour and add the orange
peel and salt. Stir the ingredients together.

Add the orange juice and stir until you have a cohesive mass.
Knead for ten minutes and allow to rest for five. Knead again for
ten minutes and let rest for five. Finally knead for five minutes
and then coat the dough ball with oil and allow to double - depending
on temperature and yeast this can take between one and five hours.

Punch down the bread and allow to double again.  Finally shape into
a loaf and allow to expand for one hour.  Place in an oven at 400F
for fifty minutes.

Eat with orange marmalade.
