When you are zesting, you want to use a quality zester. You can see my recommendation below. You also want to only zest the beautiful orange of the peel. Once you get into the white, stop and move on to a different part of the orange. Measuring this way will prevent the flour from packing, causing you to use more flour than the recipe calls for. This recipe can be frozen as a whole loaf or as pieces. To freeze as a whole loaf let it cool completely. Then wrap it several times in plastic wrap before storing in the freezer. It can be store din the freezer for up to three months. When ready to eat, allow it to thaw on the counter top overnight. To freeze slices of cranberry orange bread, lay the slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze the slices for four to six hours, then transfer them to an airtight container and store them in the freezer for up to three months. Let thaw on the counter when ready to enjoy.
