Apart from being a self-taught photographer, I have been into the baking scene for a while now. Though it’s nothing but mediocrity, if we can stomach the end product I guess it’s not that bad. Nothing like the scent of fresh bread baking away in the oven. I am bored with the same breads we are consuming from the deli. It was still missing the seasonal ingredients. Fall is upon us with wonderful baking produce. Let’s switch up the volume on our regular and boring bread shall we?
1. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, orange zest, dried cranberries and yeast; mix well.
3. Add warm water, egg, melted butter and orange juice; mix well.
4. Knead dough 10 minutes or until smooth. Dough needs to be slightly wet.
5. Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap and a cloth towel. Let rise in a warm place for 30-40 minutes.
6. Sprinkle an ungreased cookie sheet with cornmeal or semolina.
7. Punch down dough. Place dough on cornmeal-coated cookie sheet, shape dough like a loaf (you can also use a loaf pan for that matter), and with sharp kitchen shears, make a lengthwise slash on the top of the loaf.
8. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 35 – 40 minutes or until dough is doubled in size.
9. Heat oven to 375 degrees and bake for 20 – 30 minutes.
