The orange bread is a typical Sicilian dessert like the brioche col tuppo, characterized by a wonderful and intense orange fragrance. In fact, the recipe includes the addition of a whole organic orange, with skin, seedless, to prevent these from giving the orange bread a bitter taste.
The recipe is easy and quick, you just need a mixer, I used my Bimby, and in three simple steps we bake our dessert. What can I say, it’s a soft, moist cake, perfect for breakfast, a snack, or a delicious treat. I prepared the orange bread for a dinner with friends and it was very appreciated and very successful.
