1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda

Tips:

  • Use fresh oranges: Fresh oranges provide the best flavor for this bread. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use store-bought orange juice, but the flavor will be slightly less intense.
  • Zest the oranges before juicing them: Zesting the oranges before juicing them will help to release the essential oils and give the bread a brighter citrus flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the bread tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a loaf pan that is at least 9x5 inches: A smaller loaf pan will make the bread too thick and dense. A 9x5 inch loaf pan will give the bread a nice, even rise.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to tell if the bread is done baking. If the toothpick comes out with wet batter on it, the bread needs to bake for a few more minutes.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing it: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Bill Knapp's Orange Nut Bread is a classic recipe that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its moist, tender crumb, sweet orange flavor, and crunchy walnuts, this bread is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. Whether you are a seasoned baker or just starting out, I encourage you to give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
