Orange-Almond Bread

 
Source: The Free Internet Bread Recipe Archive

2 C bread flour 
1 tsp baking powder 
1/2 tsp baking soda 
3/4 C white sugar 
3 TBS vegetable oil 
2 eggs 
Juice from two medium sized oranges 
3/4 C crushed almonds 
dried orange peel (from the spice rack) 

Place ingredients (except the orange peel) in the pan of the bread machine 

Select the dough setting of sweet bread and press start. Let it cycle through the kneading.

At this time you can take it out and place it into bread tins. This is when you should sprinkle the orange peel over the top. Cook it in a conventional oven at 350 degrees for about 30-40 mins or until a toothpick comes out of it clean. 

I have never let the bread machine do the cooking on this recipe. If you were, just sprinkle the orange peel on it after the kneading cycle is done. 

Creates a crunchy crust, moist interior bread. Very very delicious, the family just loves it!
