FOR THE BREAD:
3 Tablespoons Orange Zest
1/2 cups Granulated Sugar
1-1/2 cup All-purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
1/2 cups Butter, Melted
2 whole Eggs
1/2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
1/4 cups Orange Juice
1/4 cups Plain, Non-fat Greek Yogurt
1/2 cups Tahini
FOR THE GLAZE:
1 cup Powdered Sugar
2 Tablespoons Orange Juice
1 Tablespoon Tahini

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Grease a 9x5 loaf pan.
2
In a large bowl, rub together orange zest and sugar using the back of a spoon or your fingers until fragrant. Add in flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Stir until combined and set aside.
3
In a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients until smooth. Pour wet ingredients slowly into dry. Whisk until just combined, being careful not to over-mix.
4
Pour batter into loaf pan and bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with crumbs. Let bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
5
For the glaze, whisk powdered sugar, orange juice, and tahini together. Pour over bread. Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Notes:
7
You can (probably) substitute the Greek yogurt for milk (dairy or nut) or buttermilk; however, I didn't try this so I don't know with 100% certainty.
8
These would work well as muffins, too! Just decrease baking time to 25-30 minutes.
9
You can add glaze as soon as it is slightly cooled. I baked the bread at night and then added the glaze the next morning.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
