Bread With Buttermilk And Orange Zest Recipe
Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 c. less 1 Tbsp. warmed Knudsen or possibly other lower sodium buttermilk
- 5 c. unbleached best for bread flour
- 2 Tbsp. white granulated sugar
- 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 1 Tbsp. cider vinegar
- 2 med to large egg whites
- 1 x egg yolk
- 1 med orange, zest from, grated through white pulp
- 1 x level Tbsp. vital wheat gluten
- 1 Tbsp. bread machine or possibly active dry yeast Optional glazing for Buttermilk Bars
- 1 x egg white, beaten
- 1 Tbsp. sugar
- 1 c. unsifted confectioner's sugar
- 1 x or possibly 2 Tbsp. orange juice with calcium
- 1 Tbsp. softened unsalted butter
Directions
- Place ingredients in bread machine in order listed. Set machine for dough cycle.
- (If making by hand, float yeast in hot water with a healthy pinch of sugar for 5 min or possibly till it becomes visibly active. Mix all ingredients and knead by hand for about 10 min. Follow below instructions after which.)
- When dough is ready, roll out onto lightly floured bread board. Cut in half.
- Press down with hands till dough is about 1/2" or possibly slightly more thick. Slice or possibly cut into bar shapes for either buns or possibly bars. Make long slashes with a very sharp knife down the length of each bun or possibly bar. If making bars, brush on glazing (above) each bun.
- Set on lightly greased (use extra virgin olive oil in a spray can) baking sheets. Cover with very light cloth or possibly wax paper and set in hot place.
- (Heat your oven to about 100 F, turn off heat and use which to let dough rise.)
- Let dough rise for about 45 min. Set aside and heat oven to 425 F.
- Bake for about 6 to 8 min or possibly till golden.
- When done, if to be used for Sandwiches, set on rack and let cold.
- If to be used for Donut type Buttermilk Bars (a treat for sure), glaze each bar when out of oven with the following mix. Set aside to cold.
- The Glaze:Soften or possibly hot butter, mix all ingredients with fork till smooth.
- Now and then it's perfectly all right to have a treat. If you do not use these as hamburger buns, sandwich buns or possibly even dinner rolls, then top them when warm of the oven with the glaze mix below and turn them into donut like buttermilk bars. (You can even roll these up on the board, shape them like donuts and let them rise. Bake the same as others. Make sure If you do which you leave a
- "huge" hole in the center because these will rise high.) It would be too decadent to replicate real (deep fat fried) buttermilk bars, decadent and very, very weight inducing. These are a Sunday after church breakfast treat - just like the real things use to be for our family years ago.
