This is a simple, delicious quick bread spruced up with oranges and tahini.
Serves: 12
Ingredients
For the bread:
  • Zest from 2 oranges (I used cara cara oranges)
  • ½ cup (115 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ cups (230 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ cup (1 stick) butter, melted
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup orange juice
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup tahini
For the glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon tahini
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x5 loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, rub together orange zest and sugar using the back of a spoon or your fingers until fragrant. Add in the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda. Stir until combined and set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients slowly into the dry. Whisk until just combined, being careful not to over mix.
  5. Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with crumbs.
  6. Let bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  7. For the glaze: whisk the powdered sugar, orange juice, and tahini together. Pour over the bread.
  8. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
You can (probably) substitute the Greek yogurt for milk (dairy or nut) or buttermilk; however, I didn’t try this so I don’t know with 100% certainty.

These would work well as muffins too! Just decrease the baking time to 25-30 minutes.

You can add the glaze as soon as it is slightly cooled. I baked the bread at night and then added the glaze the next morning.

I measured the flour and sugar out by weight rather than volume. I recommend you do the same!
