Mix the currants with a tbls of flour and mix into the bread just mixing briefly.
The bread will be very wet and sticky.
Turn onto a well floured board, knead a couple times and shape into a round loaf.
Place on a sheet pan lined with parchment and bake 45-55 minutes in a 375 degree oven.

When done the bread will sound hollow.
Note: This is a very rustic looking bread.
I always zest the whole orange, no waste and I love the orange flavor.

Cool on a baking rack, serve warm or at room temperature.
