I took on a baking project today. Flustered and a bit ungrounded, I found it hard to SHAPE the loaf. This recipe, orange cinnamon swirl loaf is a familiar one, but I have not made it in decades. I am feeling now like I should have been content to let it EXIST only in my memory. Somehow I did manage to get it rolled up in what looked like a reasonable facsimile of how I remember it. Though, once I cut into I feel as if I was more of a MISER than I meant to be with the cinnamon and sugar. The orange peel looks quite pretty in the dough and the confectioner’s sugar glaze. The orange bits make me think of amber, though thankfully, unlike a hard chemical RESIN, they are tender and flavorful.
