Orange Zucchini Bread With Orange Glaze Recipes

ORANGE GLAZED ZUCCHINI BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F and spray and line a 9x5 loaf pan with a sheet of parchment.
• Whisk the sugar and oil together in a mixing bowl. Whisk in the eggs, extract, and cinnamon.
• Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt and then add to the liquid ingredients, folding into mix thoroughly.
• When the flour is almost completely mixed in, fold in the zucchini and walnuts. Mix just until everything is combined.
• Turn the batter into the prepared pan and smooth out evenly. Bake for 45-50 minutes, just until risen, golden, and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out without wet batter clinging to it. (Moist crumbs are fine.)
• Cool the bread on a rack for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and continue cooling on the rack until completely cool before glazing. To speed up the cooling process you can put the bread in the refrigerator.
• To make the glaze do not add all the orange juice to the sugar at once, add a tablespoon at a time, stirring between each addition until you get a thick glaze. It should be thick enough that most of it stays on the top of the cake when you spread it on. Some dripping is fine.

ORANGE ZUCCHINI BREAD WITH ORANGE GLAZE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, oil, vanilla, and orange zest and juice.
• In another large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, cardamom, and baking soda.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, along with the zucchini, and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
• If you'd like to add any nuts, fold in about 1 cup chopped nuts.
• Line two loaf pans with foil or parchment paper, letting the edges hang over the pans. This is a MUST - bread wants to stick to pan. Coat with non-stick spray.
• Divide batter between prepared pans.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes, or until tops and edges are golden, and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
• Remove pans to a wire rack to cool for 15-20 minutes. Do not cool in pan -- bread likes to stick.
• Run a knife along any edges that may have seeped and stuck to the pan.
• Remove loaves from pan using the foil or parchment paper edges. Cool completely.
• Meanwhile, prepare glaze.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together all glaze ingredients until smooth.
• Depending on how juicy your orange was, you may need to add a little water or more powdered sugar! You should be able to drizzle or pour it, but it shouldn't easily run off the bread.
• Drizzle glaze over cooled loaves. Cut and serve.

ZUCCHINI-PISTACHIO-RAISIN QUICK BREAD WITH ORANGE GLAZE

Steps:

• For the quick bread: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly brush one 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan or three 6-by-3-by-2-inch mini loaf pans with melted butter and set aside.
• Combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Add the raisins and pistachios and toss together. Set aside.
• Whisk together the melted butter, yogurt, vanilla extract, eggs and grated zest if using in a small bowl. Stir in the shredded zucchini. Fold this mixture into the flour mixture until just incorporated.
• Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan(s). Tap the bottom on a hard surface a few times and smooth the top. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes for the regular loaf and 35 to 40 minutes for the minis. Transfer to a wire rack to cool for 30 minutes, then turn the bread out and let cool completely on the rack.
• For the orange glaze: Whisk together the confectioners' sugar, milk and orange zest and juice in a small bowl.
• Pour the glaze over the bread and allow to set at room temperature, 15 to 20 minutes. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
• Cook's Note: When measuring flour, we spoon it into a dry measuring cup and level off the excess. (Scooping directly from the bag compacts the flour, resulting in dry baked goods.)
• Try not to use dark coated baking pans; the quick bread could get too dark.
• Most quick breads taste better if left to sit overnight.
