Teleme Orange And Marjoram On Potato Bread Recipes

MARJORAM-ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Peel 2 pounds baking potatoes. Halve lengthwise; slice into 1/2-inch-thick half-moons.
• On a nonstick baking sheet (or baking sheet coated with cooking spray), toss potatoes with 3 tablespoons canola oil, 3/4 teaspoon dried marjoram, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of pepper. Spread potatoes in a single layer.
• Bake until partially browned, about 15 minutes. Flip potatoes, and cook until evenly browned, about 10 minutes.

ORANGE BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and both sugars together with an electric mixer. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then mix in the orange juice, vanilla, and orange zest. Add the flour, baking powder, salt, orange zest, and vanilla and mix together well. Generously butter and flour a 10 inch bundt pan and scoop the batter into it, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the sides shrink away from the pan and the center of the loaf springs back. Cool the pan on a rack for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a round platter. Sprinkle a little confectioners sugar over the top of the bread and serve warm or at room temperature, accompanied by small pots of cranberry butter.

MARJORAM BREAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the yeast, warm water, and sugar and leave sit 5 minutes until the mixture appears frothy.
• Add in the flour, 1 cup water, salt and bacon fat or lard. Mix thoroughly with your hands until it all comes together.
• Pour dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes.
• Sprinkle the marjoram evenly over the the dough and knead for another 10 minutes, until the dough is slightly sticky.
• Pull the dough into a ball and place in a greased bowl, turning to coat the dough. Cover and let rise for 2 hours or until the dough is doubled.
• Punch the dough down and divide into two equal pieces. If it feels too sticky to work with, sprinkle lightly with flour.
• Shape each piece of dough into a log about 10 inches in length. Cover loosely with a kitchen towel and let rise for 1 and a half hours. About 20 minutes before the rise time is done, put the bottom part of broiler tray in the oven on the bottom rack and preheat to 450 degrees.
• When the logs have risen, quickly cut the tops of the bread with a sharp knife and immediately put in the oven. Now quickly pour 1 cup of hot water into the broiler tray and quickly shut the oven door. Bake for about 25 minutes or until the crust is golden.
• After the bread is done, cool on a cooling rack and enjoy. Bon Appétit!
