Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh oranges. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use 1/2 cup of orange juice concentrate and 1/2 cup of water.
  • If you don't have a bundt pan, you can use a 9x13 inch baking pan. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly.
  • To make the glaze, you can use either powdered sugar or granulated sugar. If you use powdered sugar, the glaze will be thicker and more opaque. If you use granulated sugar, the glaze will be thinner and more translucent.
  • If you don't have a microwave, you can melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat.
  • Be sure to let the bread cool completely before glazing it. This will help the glaze to set properly.
