Low Sugar Breads with Candied Orange Filling & Almond Filling
Of late I've been trying out my bread baking with some different additional ingredients, such as olives and cheese. Now I just fancy making one with my homemade candied orange peels and one with some almonds.

The ingredients:
The dough
7g Instant dried yeast
500g bread flour
5g ground rock salt
Sprinkle of dried oregano
2 teaspoons freshly grated orange zest
3 tablespoons sunflower oil
100ml fresh milk
200ml water
The fillings:
Part 1
2 tablespoons of homemade candied orange peels, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon orange zest
Mix the two and soak in a little lemon juice for an hour or so. I do this once the first proving starts.
Part 2
A handful of blanched almonds (about 50g), roughly chopped. Mix with 1 teaspoon orange zest.
Mix the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add in the oil then the milk whilst binding the flour…
