How to Make Pot O Gold Bread Quick Bread With Orange Glaze

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5x3 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Add 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened; 2 large egg yolks; 1 cup milk; and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the bread is cooling, prepare the glaze.
In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup fresh orange juice, 1 tablespoon orange zest, and 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the glaze comes to a simmer and the sugar is completely dissolved.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Once the bread is completely cool, remove it from the pan and place it on a piece of wax paper.
Gently poke holes all over the top of the bread using a fork or toothpick.
Slowly pour the warm glaze over the bread, allowing it to soak in evenly. Let the glaze set for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
