About

The combination of white chocolate, apricots, and walnuts is one of my favorites. It is paired here with a distinctly orange dough to make a superb breakfast bread. The mandarin oranges break up during kneading and give the dough the liquid it needs. This bread is very cakelike, so remove it gently from the pan after baking and let it cool completely before slicing.
