Ingredients
- A single cup of freshly squeezed orange juice
- A trio of luscious tablespoons of rich butter
- Three tablespoons of the sweet, earthy brown sugar
- A sprinkle of aromatic ground cinnamon, just a teaspoon
- Delicately measured, one and a half teaspoons of ground ginger
- A pinch of salt, just an eighth of a teaspoon
- Precisely one and a half cups of versatile all-purpose flour
- Another one and a half cups of wholesome whole wheat flour

Step 1
Start by adding the ingredients to your bread machine following the manufacturer's suggestions. Opt for the Dough cycle and hit Start.
Step 2
Once the cycle finishes, take out the dough. Shape it into a loaf and put it in a 9x5 inch bread pan. Let it sit until it doubles in size, or until you can make a dent in it with a light press of your finger.
Step 3
Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake the bread for about 25 minutes in the heated oven, or until it turns a lovely rich golden brown hue.
