Orange Nut Bread

This recipe is easy, delicious, and the resulting bread Freezes Well.  After baking and cooling, I slice the loaf up and wrap individual slices in cello and freeze them.  Lee loves this for breakfast or a snack.  I have made this with nuts and for dried fruit, this loaf is good both ways. 

  • 1 ¾ cups All Purpose Flour
  • 2 ½ Tsp. Baking Powder
  • 3/4 Tsp. Salt
  • ½ Cup Frozen Orange Juice Concentrate, thawed
  • ¼ Cup Water
  • 1 ¼ Cups sugar
  • 5 Tbsp. Unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • ½ cup Chopped Toasted Almonds or ½ cup dried fruit
  • 1 ½ Tsp grated orange zest

Preheat Oven to 350 degrees and lightly butter a 8.5 x 4.5 x 2.5 loaf pan, dust with flour.   Sift flour, baking powder and salt into a small bowl. Combine Orange Concentrate and water in another small bowl.  In a large bowl beat sugar and butter with a mixer for one minute. Beat in eggs one at a time. Mix in flour and orange concentrate mixture in 3 additions. Do not overbeat.  Add orange zest and almonds.  Bake bread until tester inserted in center comes out clean. About 55 minutes. Cool bread in pan on rack for about 5 minutes and turn out completely.  Eat and enjoy.
