Pot O' Gold Bread (Quick Bread With Orange Glaze)

Submitted by angie_pangie

"A yummy and different loaf of quick bread that's prepared like a poke cake. This was listed in a local family newspaper advertisement around St. Patrick's Day, but you don't have to wait until March to enjoy this bread! We really enjoy it all year long."

 

• Ready In: 1hr 20mins
• Ingredients: 11

ingredients

• 1 3⁄4 cups all-purpose flour

• for glaze

• 1⁄2 cup orange juice
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1⁄2 teaspoon orange zest

directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Grease and flour a 9X5X3 bread pan (or use Recipe #78579).
3. In large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
4. Add butter, egg yolks, milk and vanilla and mix well.
5. Pour batter into pan and bake for 60-70 minutes.
6. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack. While bread is cooling prepare the glaze.

7. For Glaze:

8. In sauce pan combine orange juice, zest and powdered sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it comes to a boil.
9. After bread has cooled remove from the pan and place on wax paper. Poke holes in the top of the bread with a fork, or a long toothpick (I use a bamboo skewer). Pour the warm glaze over the top slowly, a little at a time, to fully saturate the bread.

What a DISAPPOINTMENT!!!!! Had to take the bread out of the oven after only 50 minutes because the top was burning. I bake quick breads almost weekly, so I KNOW it is not my oven. I chose this recipe because I often have leftover egg yolks and hoped this would be the way to use them. (I even wondered if the recipe might be incorrect ?)
