Cooking time: 30 min
Level: Intermediate
Ingredients:
5 cups all purpose flour, divided
1 1/2 tbsp. yeast
3 tbsp. white sugar
1 cup orange juice (from concentrate)
1 cup warm water
1 egg yolk, beaten
2 tbsp. melted butter
1 tsp. grated orange rind
1 tsp salt
Directions:
Blend the juice, water, sugar, egg, butter, and orange rind.
Combine the 4 cups of flour and yeast. Then sift the flour at yeast twice.
Add 2 cups of the flour into the liquid mixture and beat well. Then knead in the next 2 cups of flour. (Note: As much as 1 cup of flour would have to be added to help make a smooth dough. That makes 5 cups in total).
Divide the dough into two and place into 2 (9" or 23 cm) greased baking pans or dishes.
Allow to rest until it doubles in size (about 1 hour)
Brush with melted butter. Bake for about 40 minutes at 350 degrees F or until golden and firm. Then remove from oven and cool before serving.
