ingredients
- 1 cup warm whole milk (105Ã F to 115Ã F)
- 1⁄2 ounce active dry yeast (2 envelopes)
- 1⁄4 teaspoon sugar
- 2⁄3 cup sugar
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons orange peel, finely grated
- 3 3⁄4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 1⁄4 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1⁄2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
directions
- Stir milk, yeast, and 1/4 teaspoon sugar in small bowl. Let stand until mixture bubbles, about 6 minutes. Stir again.
- Mix remaining 2/3 cup sugar and orange peel in medium bowl.
- Add flour, cinnamon, salt, and ginger to bowl of heavy-duty stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment; mix on low speed. Add yeast mixture; mix on medium-low speed until dry shaggy mass forms, scraping down bowl occasionally, about 2 minutes. Add egg and egg yolk; beat on medium speed until well blended. Add sugar mixture; beat until moist soft dough that resembles thick batter forms, about 3 minutes.
- Add butter by 1 1/2 tablespoonfuls; beat on medium-low speed until almost incorporated before adding more, about 2 minutes (dough will be sticky). Beat dough on medium-high 2 minutes longer. Let dough rest in bowl 10 minutes (dough will become less sticky).
- Scrape dough out onto work surface; gather together. Place in large buttered bowl. Cover with plastic wrap; let rise at room temperature until almost doubled, about 2 hours. Punch dough down; cover with plastic wrap and chill overnight.

I'm on a mission to produce home-maker type meals on a working girl's schedule!
When I was very young, my mother was a homemaker and would make these amazing meals that I'll never forget. From an early age I would browse her many cookbooks and always held an interest in the neat ideas and recipes I found. When I was older and sometimes home alone, I would find a recipe we had the ingredients for and try my hand at it. Often without permission, and often substituting things that did not go with the dish AT ALL, but a learning experience all the same. :)
