Some buns with freshly squeezed orange juice and the pulp! It was a bit cold the other day and I thought of using up the sulky orange on the counter top for something. I blended the peeled orange and strained some juice out of it. Drank half the juice, but it was a bit too sour, so used the other half in the bread. Since I dint feel like throwing away all the pulp. I removed the seeds from the pulp and put it in as well!
