Bread, Orange Juice

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter softened to room temperature
• 1 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 large eggs beaten
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 1/4 cup milk
• zest from one lemon
• zest from one orange

Orange Juice Bread Glaze

• 1 Tbsp melted butter
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 Tbsp orange juice
• orange zest (if desired)

Directions

Preheat oven to 325°.

1. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar.

Add the beaten eggs and mix well.

1. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and salt.
2. Add the flour mixture to the butter/sugar mixture and mix until combined. Add in the orange juice and the milk, mixing just until combined. Stir in the lemon and orange zest.
3. Pour the batter into a greased 9X5” pan and bake for about 50-55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in center of loaf comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for about 15-20 minutes before removing and transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, drizzle the glaze on top.

How to make a simple orange glaze

1. Mix melted butter, powdered sugar, orange juice and a little more orange zest in a small bowl with a fork until smooth. Add a little bit of milk (or orange juice) if you want a runnier glaze. Drizzle over the top of the cooled bread.
