How to Make Bill Knapp's Orange Nut Bread
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup granulated sugar.
- In a separate bowl, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter in 1/2 cup boiling water. Let cool slightly.
- Add 1/2 cup fresh orange juice, 1 tablespoon orange zest, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 large egg to the melted butter mixture. Whisk until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
- The batter will be slightly lumpy; that's okay!
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking at 60 minutes.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
