Tips:

  • Use fresh oranges for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use orange juice concentrate, but be sure to dilute it with water according to the package directions.
  • Grate the orange zest before juicing the oranges. This will help release the essential oils and give your bread a more intense orange flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bread tough.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the toothpick comes out with wet batter, the bread needs to bake longer.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Orange cinnamon bread is a delicious and easy-to-make quick bread that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. The combination of orange and cinnamon is a classic flavor combination that is sure to please everyone.
