Description

A delicious homemade loaf with a hint of fruity sweetness.

Ingredients

  • 1-½ cup Lukewarm Water
  • 2-¼ teaspoons Yeast
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • 3 cups Flour
  • 1 whole Orange, Zested
  • ½ whole Orange, Juiced
  • 1 cup Dried Cherries

Preparation

Mix together the water and yeast. Allow it to rest for about 10 minutes.

Add in the salt and the flour, one cup at a time. Combine to form a rough dough ball.

Now add in the zest, juice, and cherries.

Combine the ingredients and bring your dough ball out to a well floured surface. Dough will be moist.

Knead the dough for 5 to 7 minutes and add in additional flour as necessary. I probably ended up adding an additional 1/4 to 1/2 cup while kneading.

Let the dough rest covered in a warm dry place for at least one hour or until doubled in size.

Punch the dough back down, reform a tight ball and score the bread. Let rise a second time.

Once bread is ready to be baked, spritz with water and transfer to the oven.

Bake at 350ºF for about 25 minutes.

I’ve made this twice, and I’ve really enjoyed it both times. The bread is delicious plain, and I’ve tried it toasted with nutella spread and used it in French toast. It makes a big loaf for my family, so I might try splitting it and baking one to eat, one to share. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Angela, I used all-purpose but I’m guessing either would work fine for this recipe. Hope that helps!

Oh, and does it matter if I use all-purpose or bread flour?

I like the fact it doesn’t require additional sugar. I’ll have to try this out! :)

This was de-lish! Snacking on it now, as a matter of fact. Can’t wait for the kids to get home from school to try it out. I didn’t have any cherries, so I used dried cranberries–it worked. I might also add a little more salt next time. I’m going to bring a piece to the hubby at work in a few minutes & make his day!

Great recipe!
