This bread turned out pretty good. It is very moist and chewy. I was a little dissapointed though because I was expecting a more noticeable orange flavor. Overall good recipe.

This was okay, a bit dry. It was good as toast but I probably won't make it again.

Granted, I left out the zest (I don't eat oranges by themselves so...no zest), but otherwise as directed and it smelled amazing but the actual flavor wasn't greatly noticeable. Perhaps some orange extract may help for the zestless.

SO delicious! My 'pick-eater' son even went crazy for the crust. THE CRUST!! I will make this often.

Very good but i forgot to buy an orange so I omitted the zest which would have made it much more orangey. Still a nice bread but i miss the zest.

One of my favorite bread recipes. I make it in my bread machine. Perfect for French toast. Have your fresh butter ready when this is done... you won't be able to resist a hot slice with the melted butter !

On it's own: probably about 3 stars. This could be my fault as I assumed that in using fresh oranges for the zest, I should be using those oranges for the orange juice listed in the recipe. I think that (gasp) bottled orange juice would be better in this bread, as my loaf did not have any sweetness, very little orange color, and the zest left a somewhat bitter taste (yes, I was careful not to use the pith) very similar to a homemade orange marmalade. The bread does smell divine while baking, and is DELICIOUS as french toast the next morning. Also, sliced and toasted with butter and honey is definitely 5 star, so I've split the difference and given this unique recipe 4 stars.

Made this in the evening to use for breakfast the next day. I liked this as French toast, but not sure I would want it any other way. I used two whole oranges and made juice out of them in the Blendtec - no water. I think this would make delicious orange-cinnamon rolls as well.

This bread was very easy to make, and almost raised the top of the bread machine when baking! :) Next time I will probably transfer into a loaf pan and bake in the oven to make it prettier...but just because it wasn't pretty doesn't mean it tasted anything less than great!! I followed the recipe, with the exception of using 1 cup Simply Juice OJ and 3 tsp. Penzey's minced orange peel (because I had no fresh oranges). I should have probably used more, but this was very refreshing and not a normal sandwich bread. The best part was that I followed previous reviewers' comments and used this to make french toast this morning and it was awesome! I will definitely be making this again. Tastes like a bakery bread, perfect to "show off" to your family or friends. :)
