Glazed Orange Bread
Glazed Orange Bread
This Glazed Orange Bread is full of citrus flavors. Covered with a sweet orange glaze, it is perfection in a quick bread!
Do you love a good quick bread? We love them. They are perfect for breakfast, snacks and dessert. This Orange Glazed Bread is so amazingly delicious and can be made year round since oranges are always readily available. You can easily make this with lemons or limes or go crazy and make a citrus bread by mixing all three together! So good.
This Orange Glazed Bread is the perfect bread to serve for a brunch. Think Mother’s Day or a Bridal shower with a Mimosa. They go so well together. Mimosas are a classic brunch cocktail made with orange juice and champagne and this would be a perfect accompaniment.
PIN IT!!
Sometimes on the weekends we like to splurge and have a treat for breakfast and this is the kind of thing we reach for. A slice of this glazed quick bread and a hot cup of coffee and it’s all about comfort food. And let’s face it if we go for the eggs and toast we will be having this for a snack or dessert later anyways.
Quick breads really are a great dessert, snack or breakfast choice and what I like about them is you can make them ahead of time and freeze them just don’t glaze them before you freeze them. For instance you can make this bread ahead of time, freeze it then glaze it before your ready to serve. Just allow enough time for the glaze to harden before your ready to serve. This way you always have a dessert on hand in case company stops by or you get a last minute invitation to go to a friends house and don’t have time to bake something.
