This was another semi-improvised recipe. It was supposed to be an orange and cinnamon tea loaf that I adapted from a chai tea loaf recipe on BBC Food. I left out all the spice mix part of the recipe and added 2 orange zests and 1 tsp cinnamon and replaced the dates with currants. Its not so much an orange and cinnamon loaf but tastes almost exactly like a hot cross bun!
The recipe says to mix it using an electric mixer with a dough hook. I don't have one of these so I did it by hand. It also didn't say to knead it. I'm not sure why but the loaf turned out very dense. I'm guessing it either needed longer kneading, proving or both. I'll try it again and see what works.
It wasn't exactly what I was aiming for but it still taste good, particularly toasted with butter :)
