This bread is a bit dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding some extra butter or oil to the batter next time.

I'm not a big fan of orange flavored desserts, but I really enjoyed this bread. The orange flavor is subtle and not overpowering.

This bread is a great way to use up leftover oranges. I always have a few oranges in my fridge, so this is a great way to use them up before they go bad.
