Method

Using a 1 1/2- to 2-pound size bread machine, add all ingredients (except yeast and additional 1/4 cup flour) to bread pan in order listed. Make a well in dry ingredients; pour yeast into well. Select "basic" setting and light or medium crust color. Close lid and start machine. Check dough during kneading stage; if dough sticks to sides of bread pan, sprinkle dough with some of the additional flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, as needed until dough no longer sticks. After bread is baked, remove bread to cool on rack. Cool at least 15 minutes before slicing.

 

Notes: You could use lemon zest instead of orange zest, if preferred.

 

Number of Servings: Makes 1 loaf; serves 12.
