ORANGE BREAD
I can't type this recipe without wanting to bake a couple of loaves! Don't ask me how long the bread will keep... every time I've made it, the family's devoured it within twenty-four hours!
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup warm water (110 degrees Fahrenheit)
2 pkg. active dry yeast
1 1/2 cups warm orange juice (110 degrees Fahrenheit)
5-6 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp. salt
1/4 cup shortening
1/4 cup grated orange peel
DIRECTIONS
Dissolve yeast in warm water in large bowl. Add orange juice and 2 cups flour; beat thoroughly. Add remaining ingredients, to make dough that cleans the bowl when you stir.
Turn on lightly floured board, knead until satiny and elastic, about 5 to 8 minutes. Turn in greased bowl, cover with damp cloth, let rise 1 1/2 hours. Punch down, divide in half. Cover, let rest 5 minutes. Shape into 2 loaves and place in greased glass pans. Brush tops with butter, cover, let rise until doubled, about one hour.
Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit 45 minutes.
