Preparation

Add the dry ingredients to a mixing bowl or dough mixer in the order listed.  Form a depression in the dry ingredients and add the lecithin and molasses.

Wash the navel orange.  With a vegetable peeler, lightly remove the outer orange color, leaving as much of the pulp as possible.  Cut the orange in pieces and place in a high speed blender with 1/2 cup of the water.  Cover the blender and run at high speed to finely chop the orange.  Stop the blender and pour the contents into the depression in the flour mixture.  Later, you will rinse out the blender with the remaining water and add to the dough as needed.

Mix and knead the mixture, adding water as necessary to maintain proper dough consistency.  The total kneading time should be approximately 20 minutes.  (See our step by step pictorial bread making article.)

Place a thin layer of Sesame Seeds on a bread board or clean counter top.  Place the dough on the Sesame Seeds and form into a cylinder about 1/2 m. (18") long.  Cut into twelve pieces and re-form each piece into a roll, making sure that the the entire surface, including the ends, are coated with the Sesame Seeds.  Place the rolls on a baking or flat bread pan (we prefer terracotta) that has been dusted with corn meal to keep the dough from sticking.

Baking:

Set the oven to warm setting �40�C (110�F), or a warming drawer on "low".  Be careful that the oven or warming drawer does not overheat.  Place the bread pan in the oven to raise the dough.   When the dough has slightly over doubled in size, turn the heat up to 175-180�C (350-360�F).  Bake for approximately 25-35 minutes.  (We have found that the baking time varies from oven to oven.)  When the crust is firm, but not crispy, the bread is done.  Remove from oven.  Let cool on a wire rack.  Enjoy!

The above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31):  'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.  And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so.   God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV)  Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
