Easy and Delicious Glazed Orange Bread
Make this Easy and Delicious Glazed Orange Bread
This Glazed Orange Bread is infused with seasonal citrus and then topped with a sweet orange glaze. It really is amazing. One of my favourite fruits is oranges and right now, they’re in season. Especially temple oranges or you can always opt for navel oranges too. This bread is baked to perfection and believe me, it’s so good!
The best part about this bread is that it is great for any season. For example, we enjoy baked pumpkin spice donuts during the fall. Right now though, it is incredibly cold. So, baking up this glazed orange bread and enjoying with a warm cup of coffee is heaven. I totally see myself bringing this recipe out for brunch during the spring or summer too.
Read on for the step by step recipe and to make your very own glazed orange bread! Can we say, yum?

Prepare Bread Batter:
In a large bowl, add the sour cream, sugar, eggs, zest, vanilla, and oil and whisk until combined. Add in the flour and mix until well combined.
Pour into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Set aside to cool.
Prepare the Orange Syrup While Cooling:
In a saucepan, add the sugar and orange juice then heat until boiling. Let the mixture boil for a minute or two, until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat.
Remove the loaf from its pan and place onto a cooling rack with wax paper underneath, pour the orange syrup all over the top and let it soak in.
Allow the bread to cool completely before topping with the orange icing glaze. (30 minutes at least)
Prepare the Orange Icing Glaze:
Once the bread is completely cooled, mix together the orange juice, powdered sugar, and extract. Drizzle the icing all over the top.
Slice and enjoy!

Use that Seasonal Citrus
There really is nothing like enjoying a good bread. This one happens to fall into that category. I think what set it over the top is the two different types of glaze. It makes it really moist and full of zest. I also swear by adding sour cream, it is what makes the crust so good. Not dry but, just perfect!
