Orange Mango Cinnamon Loaf

This recipe is a variation on my orange cinnamon loaf. I was curious to see how it would taste with more cinnamon and orange juice. I know that cinnamon is sometimes paired with mango, so I thought maybe orange mango juice would go well with cinnamon.

3 cups All purpose flour
1/2 tsp yeast
2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1.5 cups Florida natural orange mango juice

Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl and stir until it's mixed. Heat 1.5 cups of Florida natural orange mango juice in the microwave for 30-45 seconds. You want it to be warm, not cold. Pour the juice into the flour mixture and stir until it forms a wet dough.


Let the dough rise over night. For into a loaf and let it rest for 45-60 minutes. In the meantime heat your dutch oven at 500 degrees. Bake the loaf at 500 degrees covered for 30 minutes. If you like a hearty crust, bake uncovered for 5-10 minutes.


When it is done, let it rest for 30 minutes before eating. What does it taste like? Since it has more cinnamon than my orange cinnamon loaf, you can smell the cinnamon right off. The orange flavor is present, but not overwhelming. The mango flavor is subtle and isn't immediately obvious. The cinnamon enhances and changes the mango flavor. I like to slice it up and spread some cream cheese on it. Tastes savory and yummy.
