California Sunshine Bread Recipe
1/4 cup Lukewarm water
(110-115 degrees)
3 tbsp Sugar, (needed for yeast action)
1 package Instant active dry yeast
2/3 cup Orange juice, fresh (warmed to room temp)
2 1/2 cup All-purpose flour, unsifted
1 tsp Salt
3 tbsp Margarine, melted
1 tbsp Orange rind, finely grated
1 tsp Lemon rind, finely grated
2 tsp Vegetable oil, (to oil pans)
Combine lukewarm water, sugar, and dry yeast in a large bowl, stirring until completely dissolved.Add warm orange juice and beat until well blended.
Add 1 cup of the flour gradually, beating gently smooth. Cover bowl and set in a warm place until bubbly and light (30-40 minutes). Add salt, margarine, and grated orange and lemon rinds; beat gently to mix. Stir in remaining flour gradually, mixing well. Turn onto a lightly floured board and knead until smooth and elastic (about 10 minutes). Place in a large, oiled bowl, turning dough around to coat all over.
Cover bowl; place in warm place until dough has doubled in size (1 -2 hours). Punch dough down in several places.
Knead on board for 5 minutes. Shape into a loaf and place in an oiled 8 1/2" X 4 1/2" X 2 1/2" loaf pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place about 1 hour. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
When bread has risen, bake 35-45 minutes. When done, remove bread from pan and cool on wire rack
