    per portion
  • 2 x Jaffa Juicy Orange (zested, peeled)
  • 1 x Large Egg (beaten)
  • 375g strong white bread flour
  • 155g Caster Sugar
  • 120g Raisins
  • 50g Dried Apricots
  • 30g Unsalted Butter
  • 8g Salt
  • 8g Instant Yeast
  • 160ml Water
  • 100ml Whole Milk

 

For the icing:

  • 1 x Jaffa Juicy Orange (Zested and Juiced)
  • 75g Icing Sugar
  1. Add the flour to a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Add the salt to one side, then the sugar, and butter to the other side. Make a well in the middle and pour in the beaten egg, milk and water. Mix everything together to form a soft dough and then mix on medium speed for 8-10 minutes. Cover and leave to rise for 1-2 hours.
  2. Juice a Jaffa Juicy Orange and set aside for the icing. Cut the peel into small pieces then add them to a pan with enough water to cover them, bring to the boil and simmer for 15 minutes. Drain and rinse the peel and leave to one side. In a clean saucepan heat 120g sugar and 60ml water on a medium heat until the sugar has dissolved. Add the peel and boil for 10 minutes, remove from the heat, drain through a sieve and finally spread the peel out on a tray lined with baking parchment.
  3. Once the dough has proved, tip onto a floured surface, knock back, then flatten to a large rectangle. Add the mixed peel, chopped apricots, raisins and orange zest and knead them into the dough until they are evenly distributed. To shape the dough first flatten it out to a rectangle, then roll it up into a sausage, tuck the ends into the middle, turn the dough over and then tuck your fingers under the dough and shape it into a ball. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet, cover and prove for 1 hour. Meanwhile, heat your oven to Gas 6/200°C/180C Fan.
  4. Once the shaped loaf has proved, bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
  5. For the icing, juice a Jaffa Juicy Orange and add the juice to the icing sugar in a small bowl and mix. Drizzle the icing over the top of the bread and finish with some fresh orange zest.
  6. Enjoy!
