Ingredients

• 1.25 cups Water
• 0.25 cups Orange juice
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Orange zest
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Amaranth flour
• 0.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 2 tablespoons Dry milk powder
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast

Directions

Step 1

Add the water, orange juice, olive oil, and honey to the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer (usually liquids first).

Step 2

Sprinkle the salt and orange zest evenly over the liquid ingredients.

Step 3

Add the all-purpose flour, amaranth flour, and whole wheat flour to the pan. Make sure to evenly distribute the flour over the surface of the liquid ingredients.

Step 4

Sprinkle the dry milk powder over the flour.

Step 5

Make a small well in the top center of the dry ingredients with your finger or a spoon, but do not let it reach the liquid layer. Add the instant yeast into this well.

Step 6

Place the bread pan into the bread machine and select the 'Basic' or 'White Bread' cycle, with a crust setting of your choice (light, medium, or dark).

Step 7

Press 'Start' to initiate the bread-making process and let the machine work its magic.

Step 8

Once the cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread pan using oven mitts and let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.

Step 9

Gently remove the bread from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
