How To Make the ultimate glazed orange bread
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 350. Spray 2 - 9x5 loaf pans and line bottom with parchment paper. (I actually used 2 8x4 pans and 1 - 5 3/4x3 pan)
-
Step 2In a mixing bowl, add sugar and eggs, beat on medium high for 3-5 minutes or until creamy and pale yellow. On medium speed, drizzle in oil until fully incorporated, then add vanilla, buttermilk and zest, mixing well.
-
Step 3Add flour, baking powder and ginger, mixing until just well combined. Stir in chips, if using. Divide batter between the pans and bake large pans for 55-65 minutes. Medium pans for 50-55 minutes and small pan for 40-45 minutes. (I like to place my pans on an air bake cookie sheet, then the bottoms don't get so browned.)
-
Step 4Allow bread to cool 5 minutes in pans, remove to cooling racks. Whisk together orange juice and powdered sugar, drizzle over warm loaves, try to cover tops completely, allowing extra to run over the edges, scrape up the extra off the counter and drizzle over top again, if desired. (I did)
-
Step 5Allow to cool then slice and Enjoy!!!
