Orange Breakfast Bread Recipe

This Orange Cardamom Breakfast Twist is a recipe I will be making again and again. It is a bit shocking how such simple ingredients come together to create such a flavor-filled and delicious treat! If you love citrus flavor, don’t miss my Orange Rolls! (I used this twist method on Pumpkin Spice Twist Bread and it was fantastic!) If apple is more your style, try my Apple Fritter Bread!

Yeast is a living organism. When working with yeast, you have to be a little more sensitive to the needs of those little cells quietly working away in your bread dough. Any recipe that has yeast as an ingredient should give you the directions you need to make sure the recipe is successful. For instance, in this recipe, I use milk as the activator. Most bread gurus will tell you that dairy kills yeast, but I’m here to tell you that it just slows the growth slightly, which is perfect this recipe. Just make sure the milk is a little warm. This is a really fun recipe to practice working with yeast on… not to mention it is SO delicious!

Don’t let the name scare you, I know it sounds fancy. But it actually comes together easily and tastes like a fancy bread you would get at a world-class bakery! When I first saw this recipe the directions said to use “hot roll mix”. So I went to the store and grabbed some, not even sure what I was buying. Turns out that hot roll mix is basically the ingredients for a sweet dough! So I grabbed my favorite sweet dough recipe and made some tweaks to the amount of cardamom (less is more!) and voila, a beautiful and seriously delicious recipe was born.

Cranberry Orange Breakfast Rounds

This amazing orange cardamom bread starts with the perfect dough. The nice thing about this dough is that there are only two 1-hour resting times, so you can pull this entire dish together in just a few hours.

This glaze couldn’t be easier but is quite possibly the most perfect complement to this bread! It is confectioners sugar and orange juice. Gotta be honest here, I tried to kick it up a notch and use fresh-squeezed orange juice. Then I tried it with store-bought orange juice… and I could not tell the difference. So if you happen to have a little orange juice in your fridge, it will work perfectly!

Ok, once the dough has risen the first time, you are going to roll it out. I do a rough rectangle, not getting too concerned with perfect edges.

When you are ready to bake, place it into a 350°F oven for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, carefully cover with foil (you don’t want the bread to burn or get to hard, but you do want the inside to be cooked completely) and bake for another 10 minutes.

Remove from the oven, allow to rest while you make the glaze, then pour the glaze over the warm twist bread. Then dig in! We definitely like to enjoy this bread when warm, but admittedly, it is great when cooled too. 🙂

I love baking with skillets and highly recommend it. They are fairly inexpensive, this skillet is less than $20 AND comes preseasoned. I often only use one skillet for baking and the rest for savory recipes. I also recommend using a 9-inch skillet for this recipe, but that is not the standard size. If you do not have a 9-inch skillet, you can make this in a 9-inch pie dish or (worst case scenario) on a baking sheet or 9×13 baking dish.

My other favorite citrus bread recipe is lemon lavender loaf. If you top it with candied lemon slices it would make a great gift for the Holidays.

Other tasty quick bread recipes include honey cranberry bread or poppy seed banana bread. They too have easy preparation with no kneading required.

Get a large bowl and beat the eggs with sugar until pale. This takes about 2-3 minutes. Once done, add in zest from one orange, orange juice and butter.

Baking this orange loaf cake takes about 1 hour. To make sure this orange bread is ready just insert a wooden skewer or toothpick inside and when it comes out clean you can take it out.

This orange bread recipe is based on a recipe from an old cook book called Bread, Cakes & Biscuits by Mary Norwak. I made some changes to the original recipe. Reducing the amount of sugar was one of them as the original orange bread was way too sweet to my liking.

Vegan Orange Almond Breakfast Loaf

My version has just the right amount of sugar in it. I think it’s better adding more sweetness by spreading it with honey or jam rather than having a loaf that is way too sweet on its own.

Back when we were living in Boston, Erik and I would always have a competition with my mom on who could find the juiciest oranges at the supermarket.

Double Orange Bread

We’d each separately go to the market and find the heaviest, plumpest oranges we could get our paws on and run back home to compare.

Erik and I would, naturally, buy extra oranges so we could leave what we suspected to be dry ones (upon closer inspection) at home, then strut over to my mom’s place and low-key throw (okay, gently, reverently place) a couple oranges on my mom’s kitchen counter.

She’d already have her best oranges on display in a high, proud pyramid stacked just so in her best hand-painted fruit bowl, with the lighting angled just right to make those oranges gleam.

Then, we’d each select an orange—just randomly, of course—from our respective large piles of oranges and slice ‘em open. If you got orange juice in your eye, that’s how you just

And if you didn’t, well it was time to sweep that orange into a Tupperware you’d hidden under the table and make a quick swap to the pre-cut orange you had already sitting in the Tupperware. Okay, fine, we didn’t cheat that badly, but I sure wish we had. 😉

Whoever had the best, juiciest oranges would be smug all day, and generously “gift” said oranges to the dry losers. Then, we’d make orange bread!! Okay, I’d make orange bread to distract my mom from her 3
