In a mixing bowl, combine milk, orange juice, sugar, shortening, peel and salt.

Roll each half into 15-in. x 7-in. rectangle.

For filling, combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over rectangle. Sprinkle each with 1 teaspoon water.

Roll up, jelly-roll style, starting with a short end. Seal edges.

Step 10

Place with sealed edge down in two greased 8-in. x 4-in. x 2-in. loaf pans.

Oh yes it is wonderful toasted! I started this bread on a bright sunny day and as it was on its first rise, a storm blew in and the barometric pressure plummeted. So the bread took hours to rise. And then I am not sure if it came to full rise when I baked it. However, the texture was lovely and we thoroughly enjoy it. Will definitely be making this again! What a wonderful treat this is! Thank you for sharing. Made for Billboard Recipe Tag.
