Simple and
Easy Bread Recipes

Orange Buns
2 tablespoons yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup butter
1 cup milk
1 cup orange juice
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon orange rind, grated
1/2 cup sugar
6 cups bread flour
Proof the yeast. Scald the milk, add butter, sugar and salt to it. When it
is luke warm add the yeast to it. Mix well, add about 2 cups of flour and
beat well. Add eggs, orange juice and orange peel. Add flour mixing well
after each addition, until it pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Knead
for about 10 minutes. Cover and let rise until doubled, punch dough down and
if you like, let it rise again. Divide dough into 3 balls, cover and let
rest for 10 minutes. Make into braids or buns and rise once more. Bake at
375* until done. You may frost your braids or buns with an orange icing and
sprinkle some nuts on top. I made 1 braid, 12 cinnamon buns and 12
butterhorns with this recipe.
