For an enhanced flavor, consider toasting the walnuts before adding them to the batter. This brings out their nutty aroma and adds a layer of depth to the bread. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can substitute with high-quality orange juice, but the zest is essential for that bright, citrusy note. Store the cooled bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. It can also be frozen for longer storage. A glaze made from powdered sugar and orange juice can be drizzled over the cooled loaf for an extra touch of sweetness and visual appeal.
