CITRUS LOAF

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Grease bottom only of 4 mini loaf pans (I buy the disposable foil ones for Farmer's Market use).
• In a large mixer bowl combine all bread ingredients. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until all ingredients are mixed well; about three minutes total.
• Pour into prepared pans.
• Bake 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of loaf comes out clean.
• Place bread on wire rack to cool.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl stir together glaze ingredients.
• Drizzle glaze over warm bread.
• If you use regular metal bread pans, allow the bread to cool 10 minutes then loosen around the edge with a knife. Carefully tip the loaves over and remove bread from pans. Place them on the wire rack to cool completely.
