ORANGE PEEL BREAD
Grandma-Ag's Orange Bread - This bread is a fond memory of my childhood, visiting Agnes Frances Primm, my Grandma-Ag. As a young adult, I tried to duplicate the recipe, and unable. I went back and begged her for the secrets of it. When I asked her how long it had taken to develop the tricky recipe, she flattened my ego by telling me she'd gotten it out of a magazine years before! I like to make it for Christmas.

Steps:
- Place the orange zest into a saucepan and add water to cover; bring to a boil and cook 5 minutes. Strain the zest through a mesh strainer and return to the saucepan along with 1/2 cup white sugar and 1/4 cup of water. Return to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low; cook, stirring constantly, until the water has evaporated. Allow to cool until lukewarm.
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl; set aside. Whisk the egg and 1 cup of sugar in a bowl. Stir in the butter, milk, and cooled orange zest until blended; stir in the flour mixture until just moistened then pour into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 55 to 65 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

Steps:
- Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Line rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper; butter parchment. Whisk first 5 ingredients in large bowl to blend. Add butter; rub in with fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in chocolate and orange peel. Whisk buttermilk and egg in medium bowl to blend; add to dry ingredients. Stir just until incorporated.
- Turn dough out onto floured work surface and knead gently just until dough comes together, about 5 turns. Form dough into 6 1/2-inch-diameter round, about 2 to 2 1/2 inches high. Transfer to prepared baking sheet. Using sharp knife, cut 1-inch-deep, 3-inch-long slits in top of bread, forming sunburst pattern.
- Bake bread until well browned and very firm when pressed and tester inserted into center comes out clean, turning baking sheet halfway through baking, about 1 hour 10 minutes total. Transfer bread to rack and cool completely, at least 3 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Wrap in foil and store at room temperature.)
FENNEL SEED AND ORANGE PEEL BREAD
My son and daughter, both professional chefs, love the taste of fennel. They always insist that I make my fennel seed and orange peel bread when they come to visit. A bread machine will make the kneading easier, but it is not necessary. I have never used the bread machine to mix this one, as it is big enough for two loaves, and thus won't fit in my small bread maker. Hand touched is always nicer anyway. The loaves can also be braided for a nice touch.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350F and grease loaf pans very well.
- Sift dry ingredients together.
- Cream butter and sugar together until thoroughly mixed.
- Add egg and beat until fluffy.
- Add flour alternately with milk to the batter and beat until well-blended.
- Stir in orange peel and pour into prepared pans.
- Bake about 40 minutes or until bread tests done.
Tips:
- Fresh Orange Zest: Use a microplaner or zester to get the most flavor from the orange peel. Avoid the white pith, as it can be bitter.
- Orange Juice: Freshly squeezed orange juice adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the bread. You can also use store-bought orange juice, but make sure it's 100% juice and not from concentrate.
- Orange Extract: Orange extract is a concentrated form of orange flavor that can be found in the baking aisle of most grocery stores. It's a great way to add a boost of orange flavor to the bread.
- Bread Flour: Bread flour has a higher protein content than all-purpose flour, which gives the bread a chewier texture. If you don't have bread flour, you can use all-purpose flour, but the bread may be a little less chewy.
- Pecans: Pecans add a nutty flavor and crunch to the bread. You can also use walnuts, almonds, or your favorite nuts.
- Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the Bread Until a Toothpick Inserted in the Center Comes Out Clean: This is the best way to ensure that the bread is cooked through.
Conclusion:
Orange peel bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that's perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. The orange flavor is bright and citrusy, and the pecans add a nutty flavor and crunch. This bread is also a great way to use up leftover orange peels. So next time you have an orange, don't throw away the peel! Use it to make this delicious bread instead.
