Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup Orange juice
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 unit Large egg
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 1 tablespoon Grated orange zest
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
Instructions
Add the orange juice, milk, softened butter, and egg to the bread machine pan.
Sprinkle the granulated sugar, salt, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves evenly across the liquid ingredients.
Add the grated orange zest and all-purpose flour to the bread machine pan, ensuring the flour covers the liquid ingredients.
Create a small well in the center of the flour and add the active dry yeast. Make sure the yeast does not come into contact with the liquid.
Set the bread machine to the 'Basic' or 'Sweet' cycle, with the crust color of your choice (light, medium, or dark). Start the machine.
Allow the bread machine to complete its cycle, which includes kneading, rising, and baking. This typically takes about 3 hours (180 minutes).
Once the bread is done, carefully remove it from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
