Baking is a love that runs in my family and I love to invite my mom over so we can bake together. I can always count on a lot of laughs and great memories made in the kitchen and it’s such a great way to celebrate together. With this recipe, plan to double up and bake a little extra so there’s a delicious treat to enjoy right away and an extra loaf to send your mom home with to enjoy later.
How To Make Orange Bread
While your yeast is proofing, get your ingredients measured and ready to go.
You’ll warm the orange juice and butter until about 110 degrees F.
Once your yeast has proofed, start adding your dry ingredients.
The sugar up next.
Slowly add your warm orange juice and butter mixture.
Add in your eggs.
Add the rest of your flour to make a dough.
Gently stir in your grated apples.
Transfer to two loaf pans, cover loosely and let these babies rise. When ready, bake for 35-34 minutes until baked through.
Once your loaves are cool, you’ll drizzle with your icing. Let the fun begin!
Won’t this be perfect for holidays? It really is beautiful and such a treat to serve at your celebration.
