Just take a look at all the wonderful flavors buried in this breakfast bread! It's a samba in your mouth!!! We loved it!!! The hardest part of the recipe is waiting for it to come out of the oven -- the entire house smelled so wonderful!!! And once we were able to sample it, we weren't one bit disappointed. I made this for Kitten's Tagathon.

Beautiful loaves! I used blood orange rind 'cause that's what I have on hand (RSC#11 anyone?), subbed the walnuts with pecans & didn't have any raisins in the pantry. Other than that, I made per instructions & it was delish. Took 50 minutes to bake, cooled for 30 in pans & then both loaves popped right out. The bread received rave reviews from all 16 guys in my garage duking out on the x-box. Thanks Kitten! Made & enjoyed for Kittencal's Tag-a-Thon January 2008.
