Hope those who celebrate St. Patrick day, celebrated it with lots of fun. Hope you made shamrock shaped cookies and had Irish themed party. We too have a nice weekend as usual, cleaning, grocery and shopping. As usual I planned some baking of bread this weekend too. I did bake two breads. The one was all gone in two days, so I needed to bake another one and I did that
I watch movies only that are good. But for my hubby and princess they watch movie if the print is good (they watch it on YouTube), means they don’t care about story, acting and so on. This weekend they did watch two movies, I was not interested in them so cleaned my kitchen during that time. Rarely both turn off movie unless it is too hard to watch. You have to admire their patience, which is lacking in my case.
As it is getting warm, I am planning to plant some in our vegetable garden; usually we do it by the beginning of March. But it was cooler weather until last week and only this week it is getting warm. I am thinking of planting some black beans and snake gourd this time, last time I was not able to get snake gourd as it didn’t grow well.

I made this cream of orange bread this weekend, and it from the small book I got while winning my Red Star yeast giveaway. Hubby selected two bread recipes from it; one is the cream of orange bread and other one hearty rye bread. I will try that on soon. This bread includes orange juice and milk and also zest of orange and lemon. I used fresh orange juice, and while the bread was baking, the entire house was filled with citrusy smell. You don’t need any breeze candle to lighten up the room. I used new platinum yeast that I got as samples. It is new instant yeast from Red Star Yeast, and I love them. They worked very well. Nowadays I am more interested in Instant yeast as it doesn’t require any proofing. 

This delicious super soft bread makes a great toast and also breakfast bread. I would love to start my day with this kind of bread from now on. So please try this you are going to love this.

Cream of Orange Bread    
Adapted from here
            
Preparation time : 15 minutes
First rise: 2 hour
 Second rise: 1 hour
 Baking time: 60 minutes
  Yield: 1 loaf   
Ingredients
  Bread flour: 480g/3 cup (I used King Arthur flour unbleached Bread flour)
  Sugar: 3 tablespoon/40g
  Salt: ¾ teaspoon/5g
  Dry Ginger: 1/8 teaspoon
  Lemon Zest: 1/2 tablespoon /2g
  Orange Zest: 1 tablespoon/7g (Zest from 4 oranges)
 Orange Juice:  3/4 cup+ 1 tablespoon /338.5g
  Milk: 1/2 cup/103g (Heated to lukewarm)
  Butter: 3 tablespoon/37g
   Water: 2 ½ tablespoon
   Platinum yeast: 1 packet (Red Star Yeast)        
Directions
                
  • ·          Whisk the dry ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the milk, butter, orange juice and water.
  • ·         Mix until the ingredients come together, and then knead until it forms dough. Continue to knead and medium/high speed until the dough becomes smooth and elastic and no longer sticky. To test the dough, pull it until it forms sort of a thin membrane.  This could take up to 18 minutes.
  • ·         Place the dough into an oiled bowl or dough rising bucket, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise until doubled.   First rise took 2 hours.  
  • ·         Once the dough is risen well, transfer to kneading board, deflate Take each piece and, using a rolling pin, roll out into a long oval shape. Fold the shorter sides of each oval over like an envelope, into sort of a square. Flip the squares over, and roll out into an oval again. Flip them back over, and roll into a roll/cylinder
  • ·         .Arrange the dough  in an oiled one-pound bread pan, cover with plastic wrap, and allow to rise to about ¾ of the height of the bread pan. It took about 1 hour.
  • ·         Brush the loaf with the egg wash and bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 60 minutes. If the top gets too brown, tent the loaf with foil while baking.
  • ·         Remove the loaf from the pan and cool on a wire rack. Let it cool completely
  • ·         Enjoy this bread makes a great toast.
