Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Fresh orange juice
- 0.25 cup Water
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons Orange zest
- 3 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
Instructions
Ensure your bread machine pan is clean and dry before starting. Add the ingredients to the pan in the order specified by your machine's manufacturer.
Start by pouring in the fresh orange juice and water.
Add the unsalted butter in small, evenly distributed pieces.
Sprinkle the orange zest, sugar, and salt evenly over the liquid ingredients.
Gently add the all-purpose flour, ensuring it covers the liquid ingredients completely.
Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the active dry yeast into the well. Be careful not to let the yeast touch the liquid at this stage.
Place the pan securely into your bread machine and select the 'Basic' or 'White Bread' setting. Choose your preferred crust color (light, medium, or dark).
Start the machine and let it work through its cycles of kneading, rising, and baking. This step may take approximately 3 hours, depending on your machine.
Once the bread machine cycle is complete, carefully remove the pan from the machine and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Transfer the loaf to a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing. Serve and enjoy your homemade Citrus Bread!
