Orange Zest Sweet Potato Bread

This bread is a mix between a

sweet roll and white bread.

It is smooth, and soft slightly

sweet with a hint of orange.

You can leave off the Cream Cheese

glaze if you want to slice it for toast.

Either way you serve it, I am sure you

will be going back for a second slice.
