Orange Bread is a delicious recipe with roots in the culinary traditions of various regions, especially in countries where oranges are an abundant and highly valued fruit. This preparation, known in some parts of Latin America as "pan de naranja" or "pan dulce de naranja," combines the characteristic citrus flavor of the fruit with the soft, spongy texture of homemade bread. In Mexico, for example, it is common to enjoy similar variations during festivities, while in countries like Argentina or Colombia, orange bread is incorporated into breakfasts and snacks, providing a touch of freshness and natural sweetness. The inclusion of the orange zest, often overlooked, stands out in this recipe, providing an intense aroma and a unique flavor that distinguishes this bread from other baked goods.

How to prepare orange bread
To begin, preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a bread pan, ensuring the batter does not stick.
Cut two oranges into small pieces, including the peel, as this will give the bread a special flavor.
Cover the oranges with cold water and boil them until tender, which will take approximately 10 minutes.
Then, add a scant cup of sugar to the orange mixture, stir well, and let it cool before incorporating it with the other ingredients.
Place the mixture in a bowl and add the egg, milk, a pinch of salt, walnuts to taste, baking powder, and flour, mixing until a homogeneous batter is achieved.
Finally, bake for one hour or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the bread is ready.
