Tis the season for mandarin oranges at the ol grocery store! Thus, jotimaz and I had an overabundance of orange peels that needed to be put to good use as zest. We saved several days’ worth of peels, let them dry and then ground them up in my trusty food processor. jotimaz has several recipes in his bread books that call for orange zest so it was not hard to find a good loaf for the week’s sandwiches. Oh man was this loaf aromatic! It made the whole house smell like wonderful bread and oranges. On the sandwich side, the citrus taste goes surprisingly well with turkey breast, cheese and mustard. AND – it kept for over a week in the fridge!
