The Ultimate Glazed Orange Bread Food

ORANGE BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven and prepare loaf pan: Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 4x8-inch loaf pan. To make it easier to remove the loaf from the pan, you may want to lay down a wide strip of parchment paper , along the length of the bottom of the loaf pan, and up the narrow sides. Butter this as well.
• Beat butter, sugar, eggs, zest: Beat the butter until fluffy, about 2 minutes on high in an electric mixer. Add the sugar and beat for an additional 2 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until completely incorporated after each addition. Beat in the orange zest.
• Whisk together dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
• Add yogurt and dry ingredients to butter sugar mixture: Add the yogurt and dry ingredients by thirds, starting with the yogurt, alternating the additions. Beat only until just incorporated. Mix in the golden raisins.
• Pour batter into loaf pans and bake: Immediately pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Place in middle rack of 350°F oven. Bake for 45-50 minutes*, until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Cool: Cool on a rack in the pan for 5 minutes. Then remove the loaf from the pan and cool for another 10 to 15 minutes.
• Prepare glaze: While loaf is cooling, prepare optional glaze if using. Whisk together the lemon juice, orange juice, and powdered sugar until smooth and there are no lumps. Place loaf on a serving plate. Use a toothpick or skinny skewer to poke holes in the top of the loaf and drizzle the glaze over the loaf. *If you are using a 5x9 loaf pan, the loaf will be done earlier. Check at 40 minutes. You can use this recipe for muffins, in which case the cooking time should be 20-25 minutes.

THE ULTIMATE GLAZED ORANGE BREAD

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350. Spray 2 - 9x5 loaf pans and line bottom with parchment paper. (I actually used 2 8x4 pans and 1 - 5 3/4x3 pan)
• 2. In a mixing bowl, add sugar and eggs, beat on medium high for 3-5 minutes or until creamy and pale yellow. On medium speed, drizzle in oil until fully incorporated, then add vanilla, buttermilk and zest, mixing well.
• 3. Add flour, baking powder and ginger, mixing until just well combined. Stir in chips, if using. Divide batter between the pans and bake large pans for 55-65 minutes. Medium pans for 50-55 minutes and small pan for 40-45 minutes. (I like to place my pans on an air bake cookie sheet, then the bottoms don't get so browned.)
• 4. Allow bread to cool 5 minutes in pans, remove to cooling racks. Whisk together orange juice and powdered sugar, drizzle over warm loaves, try to cover tops completely, allowing extra to run over the edges, scrape up the extra off the counter and drizzle over top again, if desired. (I did)
• 5. Allow to cool then slice and Enjoy!!!
