1½-Pound Loaf
- ½ cup orange juice
- ⅓ cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp orange zest (optional)
- 3 tbsp butter softened and cut into pieces
- 3 cups bread flour

Mix-ins:

Instructions
- Add ingredients to the bread machine’s baking pan in the order listed: liquids first, then dry ingredients, finishing with the yeast.
- Reserve chocolate chips and add them during the mix-in cycle or during the second knead if your machine doesn’t signal.
- Select the Sweet setting on your bread machine. If unavailable, use the Basic setting with the lightest crust option.
- Choose the appropriate loaf size (1½ or 2-pound) and press Start.
- When baking completes, remove the loaf from the pan and cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- Orange zest adds a punch of flavor but can be omitted if not on hand.
- If your machine lacks a mix-in alert, add chocolate chips manually during the second knead.
- For a crispy finish, toast slices under the broiler or serve with whipped butter and chocolate cream cheese spread.
