Can I double or triple this recipe?

In reply to Linda. I don't have experience with gluten-free products so not sure if they work exactly the same or if they react with the rest of the ingredients the same way. Sorry, for not being help, Linda.

In reply to Crystal. Hi Crystal. I would choose the orange squeezer.

I have celiac. Can I used Bob’s Red Mill 1-1 baking flour instead as well as GF baking powder? TYIA

Hi, what’s the best way to juice an orange? Blend and sieve or use an orange squeezer?

First time making orange bread but also had 3 bananas to use up. I had fresh grapefruit and bottled orange juice, so I used the grapefruit zest instead. Since I added the bananas I increased to 3 cups flour, 3 eggs and 4 tsps baking powder. Then split the batter into two loaf pans and baked for 45 minutes.

Turned out delicious! Next time I will add candied citrus peel and walnuts too.

In reply to Kelly. Hi Kelly. The instructions are correct. Eggs and sugar are often creamed in many European baked recipes. I have made this bread several times but never had a problem with the top sinking. Try baking it for longer in the oven. Make sure the ingredients are measured correctly. It could also happen when the baking powder is too old or expired. Hope this helps!

I followed the directions exactly and my bread sunk in the middle. It seemed strange to me to cream the eggs and sugar, then add the juice, zest, and butter. Should I have added the butter first and creamed it into the eggs and sugar mixture, then add the juice and zest? The bread smells great and hopefully I can fix it next time.

You can get more juice from an orange if you microwave it for a few seconds first

In reply to Lisa. I have never tried but I would not recommend freezing these and then gifting to others. Best enjoyed fresh!

Making this recipe for the third time right now. There are so few orange bread recipes to follow. This one is a perfect baseline from which to deviate. In general myself and friends prefer our sweets to be less sweet, so I reduce the sugar to only 1/2 cup, add 1 TSP of salt and increase the Orange Zest to all 3 Oranges. The first time I made the bread I added 1 Cup of chopped Candied Orange Peel. It was amazing. Next time was 1 Cup of chopped Candied Orange Peel and 1 Cup of chopped Pecans. Again amazing. The third attempt is with the chopped Orange Peel, Chopped Pecans and now 1 Cup of frozen Cranberries. What an amazing base recipe to follow. Thank you.

Can this be frozen. I still have oranges on my tree and would like to make this recipe for holiday gifts.

In reply to Kelly S. I am sorry to hear that, Kelly S. Baking can be tricky especially when substituting some ingredients. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It's important to cream the eggs with regular sugar. Please to let us know how it turned out for you if you try again. Happy Baking!

I was so excited to make this recipe!, It was just what I’ve been craving this spring. I messed up. The middle of my bread sunk!! I won’t give up, it tasted great and I will try again. I think too much liquid?? I Tried honey in it, a no no I think.

In reply to alissa harvey. Yes, you can but I highly recommend using good quality juice, preferably with no sugar added.

Can you use bottled orange juice instead of squeezing oranges?

In reply to Lori Ann. Thanks for your feedback, Lori Ann. I have not have such problem but this can be due to the butter still not soft enough. You can soften it more in the microwave but don't over-do it. If worried, you can also use an electric whisk (instead of the spatula) at this stage for a lump-free outcome. Hope this helps!
