Tips for Baking Orange Bread

- **Use fresh oranges:** Fresh oranges provide the best flavor and moisture to your bread. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use store-bought orange juice, but the flavor will not be as good. - **Zest the oranges:** The zest of an orange contains a lot of flavor, so be sure to zest the oranges before juicing them. - **Don't overmix the batter:** Overmixing the batter will make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined. - **Let the bread cool completely before slicing it:** This will help the bread to hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling. - **Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days:** You can also freeze the bread for up to 3 months. ###
