How did it turn out? Looks lovely. Did you do the sourdough or yeasted version? 

What happened to the orange zest?

It turned out great! Thanks for asking... I made the recipe from breadtopia.com a while back and decided to make a few changes. I am not a fan of orange zest so gone. I used my 1+ year sourdough starter. I mixed, proofed, and baked the bread the way I do some of my sourdough instead of following his instructions in that regard. The loaf I made from his recipe without making any changes was maybe a bit better but it was fun to have this turn out well! I love that site for learning new things!
