This is a beautiful loaf that is fun to make and even more fun to eat. It is a bread that you can just pull a chunk off of to eat it. Especially nice as a gift bread.
1/2-1 C starterFollow instructions for making bread on the bread page adding the lemon rind with the liquid ingredients.
When shaping the dough for the second rise, shape into a free form braided loaf then proof it in a bowl, or shape into rolls using a 9x13 pan for the rolls.
To make into a braided bread: Divide into three parts and roll each part out into a long coil. Pinch together one end of the three coils and then braid them. After you finish the braid pinch the end together and wrap it around to make a round loaf, joining the two ends. I always have to play with it a bit to get it just right. Place in a well buttered bowl to rise.
Just before baking turn out onto a cookie sheet and place in oven. Bake in oven preheated to 375'F for about 30-40 minutes.
