Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Stir in nuts and orange peel.

In a small bowl, beat the eggs, milk, orange juice and butter. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.

Pour into two greased 8-in. x 4-in. loaf pans. Bake at 350° for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Yield: 2 loaves (12 slices each).
