I'm not a huge fan of sweet breads, but this one was surprisingly good. The orange zest and cinnamon gave it a nice flavor that wasn't too overpowering. I would definitely make this bread again.

I made this bread for Easter this year and it was a huge hit! The bread was so soft and fluffy, and the flavor was amazing. I especially loved the orange zest and cinnamon. I will definitely be making this bread again next year.
