I made these little bread loaves to give to neighbors this Christmas and thought I would share with you. I started out with a basic cake-type bread recipe and altered it to suit my needs. This bread has a great orange taste; with dried orange-flavored craisins bursting with flavor on the inside. Ingredients:
1 (6 ounce) package orange-flavored craisins, ocean spray brand |
1/3 cup orange juice, pre-made |
1/3 cup whole milk |
2/3 cup vegetable oil |
1 2/3 cups sugar |
2 teaspoons vanilla |
4 large eggs |
3 cups flour |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 cup nuts (optional) |
2 teaspoons grated orange peel (optional) |
Directions:
1. Mix together Craisins, vegetable oil, sugar, vanilla, milk, orange juice and eggs (& orange peel, if used, at this point) in a large bowl by hand.
2. Stir in remaining ingredients until blended well.
3. Place batter into well-greased loaf pans; dividing equally.
4. Bake in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for approximately 45-60 depending on the size of the pans used. Loaves are done when toothpick inserted into the middle of the loaf comes out clean. Do not over-bake.
5. Take out of oven and cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before removing from pan.
6. Loaves may be wrapped and stored in refrigerator for up to 10-days.
7. Each batch makes two regular bread-pan size loaves OR five mini-loaf pan size (14.5cm x 8.4cm x 4.7cm by handi-foil brand).
