Orange Yogurt Bread

I love baking!
I mean, I really love baking.
I wish I liked to cook just half as much as I like to bake.

The other day I was reading her blog (I like reading it because she has great recipes and also loves to bake!), and she happened to mention Orange Yogurt Bread. 
Doesn't that just sound yummy?  And springtimey?
So I searched and searched and searched in her recipes trying to find it.
No such luck.
In the end, Google held the answer (it always does, doesn't it?).
Found the recipe here (amazing site from which I will most likely snag some more delicious things to make).



Dear goodness!
This is awesome.
No, whatever word is beyond awesome, that's what it is.
On his first bite, Chad said, "Wow.  This is really good."
He's not usually one to say anything, so it was really nice to hear that.
Then on his second bite, he said, "Mmmmm . . . this is sooo good."
Smile.
Yep.  This is a recipe to keep.
You should make it.  And if you do, let me know how it turns out and how much you and your family love it too!
It's very light, not too orangey, not too sweet.  A perfect springtime treat! (ooo . . . and a rhyme!)
I didn't follow the recipe exactly, but certainly didn't change much.
Here's what we did:

Orange Yogurt Bread

Ingredients:

2/3 cups butter softened
1-1/4 cups sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup vanilla yogurt
1/2 cup orange juice
1 Tbsp. grated orange peel
1 cup whole wheat flour
1-1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 flax meal
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt

Glaze:
1/2 cups confectioners sugar
2-3 tsp. orange juice

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350*F.
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.  Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.  Add yogurt, orange juice, and peel.  Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; add to creamed mixture and mix well.
Pour into a greased 9" x 5" x 3" loaf pan.
Bake for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
*Cover loosely with foil if the top browns too quickly.
Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to wire rack to cool completely.

Glaze:
Combine confectioners' sugar and engouh orange juice to achieve desired consistency.  Drizzle over cooled bread.
Sprinkle with little bits of orange peel (just for looks and fun!).
