almond milk **	100 ml
freshly squeezed orange juice	100 ml

orange zest	1-2 tsp

Wheat flour 1 grade	450 g

Cooking method

Preparation:
1. Prepare the leaven 8 hours before kneading the dough. (rye-wheat. Who is interested did how here: https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/in...option=com_smf&topic=41.0, the first batch is also on rye flour, and I feed the now ready-made 50/50 rye / wheat)
To do this, take 40 g of sourdough from the refrigerator, add 20 g of water and 20 g of flour, leave it warm.
2. Dissolve the finished starter culture in almond milk ** (recipe: https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/in...on=com_smf&topic=417602.0), add 100 g of flour and let stand warm for 1 hour.
3. Peel the orange finely and finely chop the zest, or grate.
I ran the orange in a blender and strained it through 2 layers of cheesecloth.
4.After an hour, add all the other ingredients except flour to the starter-almond mixture, stir well and, gradually adding flour, knead the soft, slightly sticky dough and put in a greased bowl and grease a little on top so that it does not dry out. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set for 1.5 hours (if yeast-based -1 hour) in a warm place.
5. Shape into buns or any other shape. Leave it warm for 2 hours (yeast dough for an hour).
6. I baked the rolls in an oven preheated to 220 degrees with steam for 10 minutes, then I pulled out a pan with water, reduced the temperature to 180 degrees, and baked for another 30 minutes.
By the way, I mixed the cake left over after making almond milk with honey and added it as a filling to bread - see 4 photos above.

Note

* A few words about leaven
Cereal grains contain a natural preservative that extends the shelf life of the grain, and at the same time, prevents its absorption.
It is possible to neutralize the effect of the preservative by fermentation, i.e. fermentation.
Sourdough bread, moreover, is rich in valuable micro and macroelements, essential vitamins and minerals, such bread is more easily absorbed by the body and brings great benefits.
In addition, sourdough has another unique property: sourdough bread is practically not affected by mold fungi. The acidic environment of the starter culture kills the pathogenic microflora without affecting beneficial crops. Therefore, sourdough bread, even during long-term storage, does not become moldy, but simply stale.
The benefits of oranges
The highest content of vitamins is found in the peel of oranges, even more than in the pulp.
One of the healthiest parts of an orange is the zest. It contains the most vitamin C, flavonoids and solid fibers that have a beneficial effect on the digestive tract. Orange peel has powerful antiviral properties. Fibers create a feeling of fullness, they swell and promote the elimination of carbohydrates.
Juicy orange peel is of great benefit, due to the presence of a large amount of ascorbic acid, vitamins B1, B2, P and A, calcium, phosphorus. In addition, oranges contain pectin and citric acid, natural antibiotics - phytoncides.
Among other things, a large amount of pectin substances contained in oranges contribute to the emptying of the intestines, preventing the development of putrefactive processes in it.
And the orange itself helps to lower blood cholesterol.
Orange juice, the benefits of which have been confirmed many times, is capable of activating the activity of all body functions and at the same time it is one of the lowest-calorie juices. There are more benefits in one glass of orange juice than in complex vitamins.
The benefits of oranges are also that they have antioxidant and anti-aging properties, remove toxins and harmful substances from the body.
Citrus fruits are also rich in folate, the main female vitamin.
However, the orange is contraindicated in diseases of the digestive tract, especially stomach ulcers, bowel disorders, gastritis with high acidity.
