Yummness! I entirely planned on making the glaze, but by the time it came out of the oven we couldn’t wait to slice into it… It’s fantastic! This is my new go-to recipe for pumpkin bread. I had hesitations about zesting orange into the dough, but it really rounded out the flavor. It’s moist, flavorful, and next time around I’ll have to plan ahead a bit better and try it with the glaze. :)
