This is a big recipe that makes four loaves, because everyone kept wanting me to make a loaf for them! It's a very forgiving recipe, so if you want to tweak the amounts or ingredients, or add extra spices or some dried fruit, it still turns out nicely. The bread comes out a beautiful orange shade, and looks great on a holiday table.
