The classic combination of flavors in this recipe reminds me of the orange and chocolate candy my grandmother made for the holidays. We like to snack on this bread throughout the day. Ingredients:
4 teaspoons grated orange peel (about 1 medium orange) |
1/3 cup orange juice |
boiling water |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1 egg |
2 tablespoons butter, melted |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips |
Directions:
1. Place orange peel in a small bowl. Pour juice in a measuring cup; add enough boiling water to measure 1 cup. Pour over orange peel; let stand for 10 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda. In another bowl, whisk the egg, butter, vanilla and reserved orange mixture. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in chocolate chips.
3. Pour into a greased 8-in. x 4-in. loaf pan. Bake at 350° for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Yield: 1 loaf (12 servings).
