I didn't have any orange zest, so I used lemon zest instead. The bread still turned out great!

I accidentally used salted butter instead of unsalted butter. The bread was still good, but it was a little too salty for my taste.

The bread didn't rise properly, so it was a little dense. I'm not sure what I did wrong.
