Orange Scented Whole Wheat Bread with Apricot Swirls
Glorious Sunrise
casting Orange onto clouds
Warmth of a routine day soon
Golden skies shimmer
in the afternoon
Red blood sunset
wistful the heart gets
charcoal black night
Off go the lights
This gorgeous loaf is very aromatic and sweet. It can easily pass off as a cake and may not be essentially a breakfast item but would work very well for the evening tea..specially if you have a few friends visiting for an evening cuppa...Love laughter..loaf..what else do you need to make your life beautiful? The bread is very zesty and has a very strong orange after taste which compliments the core of sweet apricot preserve very well.
