ONLINE COOKING CLASS Pan d’arancio

Introduction

Pan d’Arancio, or Orange Bread, is a delightful Sicilian dessert that embodies the bright, zesty flavors of the Mediterranean. This traditional recipe uses a whole orange—peel and all so use an organic one—making it incredibly aromatic and bursting with citrus goodness.

It’s a versatile cake, perfect for breakfast, teatime, or as a simple dessert to share. For a healthier twist, the sugar can be substituted with a natural sweetener like honey or coconut sugar, keeping the cake naturally sweet while maintaining its authentic flavor. Looking forward to cook with you!!!

Substitutions for Sugar

If you’d like to use natural sweeteners instead of sugar, here are some options:

1. Honey: Use about 1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon (100 g). Reduce the oil by 1 tablespoon (10–15 g) to balance the extra moisture.
2. Maple Syrup or Agave Syrup: Use about 1/3 cup + 2 tablespoons (100–110 g). Again, reduce the oil slightly.
3. Coconut Sugar: Use the same amount as sugar (3/4 cup, 150 g). It adds a subtle caramel-like flavor to the cookies.
