· 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.
