outstanding pineapple orange bread w/citrus glaze
(3 ratings)
AKA "Tropical Paradise Breakfast Bread" to my Grandparent To Grandparent friends! lol What a great quick bread! This just could be my all-time favorite sweet bread, and I make a lot of them! With each bite, you get subtle hints of pineapple, then orange, then almond and then banana. I especially love the addition of almond extract and the fresh orange peel glaze adds just the perfect touch of freshness to the doughnut/cruller like top. What a great addition to your morning coffee or tea. Beautifully moist and flavorful, it was rated a "3 thumbs up winner" in our home! My Photos
