Surprise your family or friends by baking this orange loaf (or bread as it was originally called)! A perfect treat for a coffee/tea break and absolutely delicious when butter with jam or honey are spread over.

So last week I came across a recipe for Orange Bread (from a book – Bread, Cakes & Biscuits by Mary Norwak). I have found this pretty old cook book in the library. And guess what! There are no pictures at all! Not even one! Normally I wouldn’t be interested in a cook book without pictures because I really prefer seeing the dish first but I was somehow intrigued by this book with 500 bread/cake/biscuits recipes and I just couldn’t help myself but taking it home to have a closer look at it.

Well, so I baked the orange loaf. It turned out well but it was way too sweet to my liking (even after reducing the original amount of sugar stated in the recipe) so I made it again a few days ago. I’ve added more flour, omitted milk and salt completely and again changed the amount of sugar.

I was pleasantly surprised by its taste. Some people might find it not sweet enough but I personally prefer adding some extra sweetness in a form of jam or honey (spread over it) rather than eating something that is overloaded with sugar.

N.B.

For a stronger orangey flavor, right after taking out from the oven pour over freshly squeezed orange juice.
