    After removing from the oven, while still very warm, spread Orange marmalade over the tops to your taste. Personally, I love orange marmalade, so I spread a thick layer over mine. It makes a wonderful glaze, but you can leave them not glazed if you prefer. Or if orange is not your thing, pineapple preserves or peach would pair well with this bread.
