Here is another sweet bread recipe that makes a great homemade gift. The best part about this bread is the glaze on top of it. O-M-G! It is SOOOOO good. It is made with orange juice. It really gives this bread a whole new level of flavor. I would love to slice off the top hump of the bread and just eat that all by myself.  I don’t, but I want to.
This recipe makes two loaves. I always give one away. This bread is dangerous in our house. We have absolutely no self-control when it is around. This makes a great hostess gift or easy gift for a teacher, neighbor, co-worker or friend. I promise they will love it!

  1. Made this today and I can't.stop.eating.it. I followed the recipe exactly except I cut the sugar by 1/4 cup. It's still plenty sweet enough. I was going to give away the other loaf, but now I'm not so sure. 🙂

  2. Made it this morning ,At first it was going to be too much milk ,but the more I stirred the better it looked. It turned out beautiful ! It even taste great ! Thanks !

  3. I have been struggling trying to figure out something to finish off a gift basket for my secretary for Christmas. This will be perfect!

  4. I made this on Sunday to take to church for snacks. I had to improvise since I didn't have any orange juice in the house. I took a large spoonful of peach jam added a splash of water to dilute it and make it liquidy and used that instead of the orange juice. Hey, a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do. It was yummy!!

  5. Question…how is this different than cake? I buy poppy seed cake from the grocery store every once in a while…good stuff. I love the glaze on the top and the richness and moistness of the cake.
