I added extra orange extract and did not use the glaze since I was freezing them. I loved it!

This tasted good enough but it wasn't great. Kind of dry and I wasn't thrilled with the glaze. I was able to use up some oranges so that's a plus but this wasn't the recipe I was looking for.

I added the extra 1/4 cup margarine that was recommended and boiled the glaze a little longer and it was wonderful!! My family said I could make this as often as I want to. I made it into two smaller loaves and one loaf was gone before they even cooled completely. Will make lots and lots!! Thanks for a wonderful recipe!!

This was a good breakfast bread. I made some changes after reading the reviews. I added some oil to keep it moist and I reduced the orange glaze to make sure it wasn't too runny. As soon as the bread came out of the oven I pricked it with a fork all over. Then when I drizzled the glaze over the bread it seeped down into those fork holes and really made the bread more moist and orangey throughout.

I must have accidentally doubled the baking powder or something because my loaf tasted terrible! It was a shame too because it looked so nice and I couldn't wait to eat it. :(

I followed several reviewers suggestions and added the following: 1 tsp vanilla and 1/4 cup oil to the batter; 1/8 tsp vanilla to the glaze and boiling the glaze down a bit and the loaf turned out amazing. Not dry at all!!

I liked this recipe. I used whole wheat flour and butter instead of margarine. I only baked for 40 min and didn't use the glaze, just sprinkled on some powdered sugar. It was late and I got tired. I will try with extra oj next time to maybe moisten it up a bit, but definitely a great late night snack for a sweet lover like me.

MY NEW FAVORITE!! with an orange tree in the back yard, I am always trying new ways to use them. I made a loaf last night, and it was soooo good I made two more loafs! I added 1tsp of vanilla to the batter and an 1/8tsp to the glaze. It was magical! I'll making this weekly with my oranges.

This bread was plenty sweet, even though I used a tad less sugar than called for. Nice and orange-y. It was pretty dry though, and the glaze wasn't much of a glaze. Altogether, it was a solid recipe, but I don't think I will be making this again.

This was ok; it had a good, orange citrusy flavor. But as others have said, it's on the dry side and crumbly. I even added in an extra 1/4 cup of OJ, but I think what's wrong with this recipe is there is no oil in it. I've never made a quick bread that didn't call for some amount of oil. I doubt I'll make this again, but thought I'd throw this opinion out there - try adding in 1/4-1/3 cup of oil and see if you get better results.

I didn't want to use margarine, so I've added about 1/3 cup extra orange juice and a dash of cinnamon. But I think I overbaked it, it was so dry. And the glaze, I was so worried about the glaze being runny so I cooked it too long and ended up with candied glaze. Which my husband loved it, by the way. Next time, I'll just have to watch my baking time. But overall, it was pretty good :)

I had really high hopes for this. The smell while it was baking was intoxicating; pure heaven. Well, it turned out drier than I had hoped. I would have thought with the syrup and all it would have been super moist. I was even light-handed on the blending of wet with dry ingredients. Still, too dry for my liking. I will say that the orange flavor was dead-on perfect. I think I will continue to search for that perfect moist orange loaf. Thank you for sharing.

We gobbled this up in one day. I will take the suggestion to reduce the glaze and brush it on after you take it out of the pan next time..

This is fantastic! The flavor was perfect. I ended up making 6 extra loafs over Christmas time per multiple requests. My only problem was it was a bit dry so I added 1/4 a cup of oj per loaf and it turned out great!

My family and I thought this was just okay. The texture is a bit dry, as others have said. The glaze helps, but unfortunately I just don't think I'll be making this again.

This loaf was easy to make and baked well. I substituted butter for margarine and orange peel/zest for zest since I only had a small tangerine. Put in about 2/3 cup sugar or so (instead of whole cup) in the loaf and it was still good. Used all the glaze but did let it cook/boil down as others suggested. It had trouble soaking in so i would pull back the sides of the bread in the pan to allow it to seep down the sides. My husband was very happy with this. note-it may not take the full hour to bake! Keep an eye on it and test it if you aren't sure. My loaf only took 45 min.

The flavour was good. Not too sure why the loaf turned out super dry, but it did. Used honey and orange juice for the glaze. It worked great!

I agree with the other reviews that it was a bit dry. Probably would have been worse without the glaze. But still good, great orange flavor. This recipes worth keeping. Made in 2 mini loaf pans and baked about 40 min.

This loaf was outstanding! My husband loved it! I used butter instead of magarine and reduced the orange zest to like 1/2 because I couldn't get any more off the Valencia orange I was using. I sent some over to the neighbor, an elderly couple, and they loved it too!
