2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (2 3/4 to 3 1/4 cups)
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon freshly grated orange peel
1 package Fleischmann's® Rapid Rise Yeast
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup milk
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons butter or margarine, cut up
3 eggs, divided use
3/4 cup coarsely chopped pecans, toasted
Servings: 16
1. In large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, sugar, orange peel, undissolved yeast and salt. Heat milk, water and butter until very warm (120º to 130ºF); stir into dry ingredients. Stir in 2 eggs (reserve 1 egg), pecans and enough remaining flour to make soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 4 to 6 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.
2. Divide dough in half; roll each to 12-inch rope. Arrange ropes, side by side; twist together. Pinch ends to join. Place in greased 8 × 4-inch loaf pan. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 45 to 60 minutes.
3. Lightly beat reserved egg; brush on dough. Bake at 350ºF for 40 to 45 minutes or until done. Remove from pan; cool on wire rack.
