3 cups all-purpose flour (3 to 3 1/2 cups)
1/3 cup sugar
1 package Fleischmann's® Active Dry or Rapid Rise Yeast
2 teaspoons grated orange peel
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground mace
1/3 cup milk
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup butter or margarine
1 egg, at room temperature
Orange Frosting or Honey Orange Glaze
ORANGE FROSTING
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons orange juice (1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons)
HONEY ORANGE GLAZE
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon orange juice
Servings: 16
1. In large bowl thoroughly mix 1 cup flour, sugar, undissolved yeast, orange peel, salt and mace. Heat milk, water and butter until very warm (120º to 130ºF). Butter does not need to melt. Gradually add to dry ingredients; beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add egg and 1/2 cup flour. Beat at high speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. With spoon, stir in enough additional flour to make soft dough.
2. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 4 to 6 minutes. Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 hour. (For Rapid Rise Yeast, cover kneaded dough; let rest on floured surface 10 minutes. Proceed with recipe.)
3. Punch dough down. Turn out onto lightly floured surface. Remove 1/4 of dough; roll to 18-inch rope. Reserve. Divide remaining dough into 2 equal pieces. Roll each to 30-inch rope; join to make one long rope. Wrap long rope loosely around small rope (start wrapping at center of small rope and work out to each end). Pinch ends to seal. Place loaf on greased baking sheet. Curve ends to make horseshoe shape.* Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
4. Bake at 350ºF for 35 minutes, or until done. Remove from pan and cool on wire rack. Brush with Honey Orange Glaze or Orange Frosting.
