2 large eggs
1/2 cup oil
4 cups flour
1 2/3 cups sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp baking powder
1 large naval orange unpeeled and washed well
1 1/2 cups milk

I love to collect unusual baking recipes. The following is an example of such a recipe.
It is visually attractive and tastes wonderful. Please follow all instructions to make
this delicious ,intense orange flavored and colored ,moist quick bread. It is a great
breakfast or tea bread. Although excellent plain, butter or orange marmalade goes great
as well as a cream cheese spread. It also make a superb French toast using the
traditional egg and milk batter to fry it! Cut up orange and place in blender or food
processor to chop fine.. Set aside. Beat eggs until thick and lemon colored. Gradually
beat in oil. Sift all dry ingredients. Add to egg mixture with orange and beat until
well mixed . Batter will be on the thick side. Add and beat in milk medium speed until
well blended for about 2 minutes. Divide batter into two greased and floured 8 x 4 inch
loaf pans. Let stand on counter 20 minutes. Then bake in a preheated 400F oven about 20
minutes or until slightly browned and appears risen. Lower heat to 300F and carefully
score bread lengthwise with tip of knife. Bake about 35 to 40 minutes or until
toothpick in center comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes and carefully remove to
cool completely. Wrap in foil and leave until the next day. . Yield 2 small loaves which
freeze well. Note: A nice orange glaze or icing would also be nice to drizzle over the
loaves. Use your judgment on how you wish to use this versatile loaf.
