Baking Soda 3/4 tsp Salt 5 - 5 1/2 Cups flour 1)  Juice the orange and set aside.  Put rind and pulp into food processor (or in my case, the Vitamix) and grind up.  I would also like to add that I ended up putting the juice back into the blender with the pulp with a little water so that it would actually blend....
