1 (0.25-ounce) packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
-
1/2 cup orange juice, at room temperature

Steps to Make It
-
Gather the ingredients.
-
In a large bowl, mix warm water and yeast.
-
Add orange juice, brown sugar, salt, butter, and orange zest. Stir.
-
Add 2 1/2 cups of flour and mix well. Add in enough remaining flour to make a dough that follows the spoon around the bowl.
-
Turn dough out onto the lightly floured surface and knead for 10 minutes, adding more flour as needed until the dough is firm and smooth to the touch.
-
Place dough in a medium greased bowl. Turn dough over in a bowl so that the top is also lightly greased. Cover with clean cloth and let rise in warm, draft-free place for 1 hour.
-
Punch down dough. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured board and knead for 5 minutes or until the bubbles are out of the bread.
-
Shape dough into a loaf. Place in greased, 8 x 4-inch bread pan. Cover and let rise in warm, draft-free place for 45 minutes or until doubled in size.
-
Bake bread at 350 F for 40 minutes or until bread top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when the top is tapped. Remove bread from pan and let cool on a rack.
