Ingredients

• 0.75 cup Orange juice
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 unit Large egg
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.75 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 1 tablespoon Grated orange zest
• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast

Directions

Step 1

Add the orange juice, milk, softened butter, and egg to the bread machine pan.

Step 2

Sprinkle the granulated sugar, salt, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves evenly across the liquid ingredients.

Step 3

Add the grated orange zest and all-purpose flour to the bread machine pan, ensuring the flour covers the liquid ingredients.

Step 4

Create a small well in the center of the flour and add the active dry yeast. Make sure the yeast does not come into contact with the liquid.

Step 5

Set the bread machine to the 'Basic' or 'Sweet' cycle, with the crust color of your choice (light, medium, or dark). Start the machine.

Step 6

Allow the bread machine to complete its cycle, which includes kneading, rising, and baking. This typically takes about 3 hours (180 minutes).

Step 7

Once the bread is done, carefully remove it from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
