Orange Bread – Delicious and Easy Recipe

Orange Bread?

Coming up on the end of the orange season, I always have an abundance of extra oranges and what better way to use them than some delicious orange bread. As the weather starts to heat up, the oranges are falling off the tree more and more. Might as well use them up and not let those on the tree go to waste.

One way I came up with to utilize these left over oranges is to make a delicious and easy orange bread. Orange Bread?, you may say. Yes! This stuff is delicious.

This very easy to make recipe for orange bread takes only about three oranges, plus all of your standard baking supplies and ingredients. Below is the breakdown and the instructions in video form, as well as the written instructions below that. This video can be found on the You Tube channel, At Home.
