Orange Bubble Bread Recipe

Prep: 35 min. + rising Bake: 40 min.

Yield: 16 Servings

35 40 75

Ingredients

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1 teaspoon plus 1/4 cup sugar, divided
1 cup warm milk (110° to 115°)
3-1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold butter
2 eggs, lightly beaten
ORANGE SYRUP:
3/4 cup orange juice
3/4 cup orange marmalade
4 to 5 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon butter
3/4 teaspoon grated orange peel
1 cup flaked coconut, toasted, divided
1/2 cup golden raisins

Directions

In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar in warm milk; set aside. In a large bowl, combine 3-1/2 cups flour, salt and remaining sugar. Cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in eggs. Stir in yeast mixture and enough remaining flour until mixture forms a firm ball (mixture will be slightly sticky).
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1/4 hours.
Meanwhile, for syrup, combine the orange juice, marmalade, sugar, butter and orange peel in a saucepan. Cook and stir until mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Cool to room temperature. Place 1/2 cup syrup and 1/2 cup coconut on the bottom of a greased 10-in. tube pan.
Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 32 pieces. Roll each into a 1-in. ball. Dip each into remaining orange syrup. Place 16 balls in prepared pan. Sprinkle with half of the raisins and 1/4 cup coconut. Top with remaining balls, raisins and coconut. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
Bake at 350° for 40-50 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes before inverting bread onto a serving plate. Yield: 1 loaf (16 slices).
