If you wish to prepare this bread for tea time, use the natural orange zest. If it's for dessert, add the candied orange peel.

The amount of sugar is minimal - you can double it if you have a sweet tooth.

1. Preheat oven to 180°C / 350°F.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the yogurt, orange juice and 2 tbsp. orange peel.
4. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to the creamed mixture and mix well.
5. Pour into a greased 9-in. x 5-in. x 3-in. loaf pan. Finish with the last tbsp. orange peel. Bake for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean - cover loosely with foil if the top browns too quickly.
6. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
