directions
Arrange oven rack to center and preheat to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9×5 loaf plan by greasing with butter and lining with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl add: olive oil, eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, & orange juice. Whisk together until combined.
Add to mixture: Orange zest, rosemary, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, sea salt. Stir to combine.
Fold in flour until *just* combined. Be mindful not to overmix.
Pour into the prepared loaf pan and bake for approximately 60 minutes; or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean. Allow to cool completely before topping & slicing.
Top with a dusting of powdered sugar and garnish with fresh rosemary and/or orange slices.
Serve with an extra drizzle of Zeit extra virgin olive oil. Optional, but delicious!
