In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon milk and 1/4 cup
butter or margarine. Stirring occasionally, cook over medium-low heat
until milk mixture reaches 130 degrees. Remove from heat; stir in 1
teaspoon orange extract. Add container of dry ingredients to milk
mixture; stir until a soft dough forms. Turn dough onto a lightly
floured surface and knead about 5 minutes or until dough becomes smooth
and elastic. Place in a large bowl sprayed with cooking spray, turning

85 degrees) 1 hour or until doubled in size. Turn dough onto a lightly
floured surface and punch down. Form into a loaf shape and place in a
greased 5 x 9-inch loaf pan. Spray top of dough with cooking spray,
cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
