I followed this recipe without orange zest and added cinnamon instead. It came out soooooo delicious! :)

easy and yummy. I actually brought the recipe down to 8, just to try it and it worked out wonderful. Loved the glaze and sugar topping, omitted the anise (I didn't have any) but thought the orange added a nice flavor. Much like a cinnamon roll with a different flavor.

i've made this the last 2 years for my mother in law and she loves it. it's a super easy recipe and i usually make a medium sized loaf and 2 small loaves. the only thing i changed is using 2 1/2 cups of flour because if you use 3 full cups the dough becomes dry and a little tough. all in all i will keep making this recipe every year

Great flavor! I used whole wheat flour instead of white, and did not sprinkle with the extra sugar.

I made this last year for Day of the Dead/Halloween/Samhain celebration and I think I'll make it again this year. The anise and orange flavor is not something I get everyday, and it has a dry, coffee-cake or panatone like texture and is just slightly sweet from the glaze. Good for breakfast with coffee or Mexican hot chocolate. I made it into a skull shape, poking in eye sockets and cutting a nose and teeth with scissors before I baked it.

Great recipe. I had no anise on had so I used Ouzo or you can use Absente, absinthe or any of the anise flavored drinks. Also, the use of zest and orange oil really intensifies the orange flavor if you like it stronger. Because we are diabetic I substitute Splenda for sugar. If you want a maple flavor use sugar free maple syrup. Thanks for this inspiring recipe!

Not too bad flavor wise, but it turned out a little harder than I would have liked.

Very easy and delicious! Reminds me of panettone. Next November 2nd will make two loaves instead of one. It's my husband's birthday and he really enjoyed it!
