Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup Orange juice
- 0.5 cup Water
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 1.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cup Cornmeal
- 0.5 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2.5 cups Bread flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon Grated orange zest
Instructions
In a saucepan, gently heat the orange juice, water, honey, butter, and salt over low heat until the butter melts and the mixture is warm but not hot (around 110°F). Stir well to combine.
In the meantime, in a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the cornmeal, rolled oats, and bread flour.
Add the yeast to the dry ingredients and mix well.
Slowly pour the warm liquid mixture into the dry ingredients and begin mixing. Add in the grated orange zest for flavor.
Knead the dough by hand for about 8-10 minutes (or 5-6 minutes if using a stand mixer with a dough hook) until the dough is smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a small amount of bread flour, one tablespoon at a time.
Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm, draft-free location for 1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Cover again with the kitchen towel and let it rise for another 45 minutes, or until the dough rises just above the edge of the pan.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the bread for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the bread from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
