How to cook deliciously - Orange Bread

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 4x8-inch loaf pan. To make it easier to remove the loaf from the pan, you may want to lay down a wide strip of parchment paper along the length of the bottom of the loaf pan, and up the narrow sides. Butter this as well.

2. Stage

Beat the butter, sugar, eggs, zest: Beat the butter until fluffy, about 2 minutes on high in an electric mixer. Add the sugar and beat for an additional 2 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until completely incorporated after each addition. Beat in the orange zest.

3. Stage

Whisk the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.

4. Stage

Add the yogurt and dry ingredients to butter sugar mixture: Add the yogurt and dry ingredients in thirds, starting with the yogurt, and alternating the additions. Beat only until just incorporated. Mix in the golden raisins.

5. Stage

Pour the batter into loaf pan and bake: Immediately pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Place in middle rack of 350°F oven. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

6. Stage

Cool: Cool on a rack in the pan for 5 minutes. Then remove the loaf from the pan and cool for another 10 to 15 minutes.

7. Stage

Prepare glaze: While loaf is cooling, prepare optional glaze if using. Whisk together the lemon juice, orange juice, and powdered sugar until smooth and there are no lumps. Place loaf on a serving plate. Use a toothpick or skinny skewer to poke holes in the top of the loaf and drizzle the glaze over the loaf.
