Method

Mix all the dry ingredients (flour, spices & zest) in a large bowl. Dissolve the 3 cubes of yeast in warm milk (2 cups). Add immediately to dry mix in a bowl, without waiting for it to rise.

Mix the Chelsea White Sugar, 4 yolks & 1/2 cup of milk in mixer for 5 minutes. Blend all together in the bowl. Beating constantly, gradually add the butter/margarine mix. Finally add the orange juice.

Cover the large bowl with a tea towel & place in an oven preheated to 80°C. Leave it for approximately 1 hour until it has well risen. Take out of the oven & divide into 6 dough portions. Place on baking paper on baking trays.

Cover with tea towel & leave for another hour to rise. Remove the tea towel, baste with yolk thinned with a little water. Bake in a pre-heated oven 180°c for 30 minutes.
