orange oatmeal bread

-1 orange
-2 tbsp sugar
-1 1/2 c flour
-3/4 c sugar
-4 1/2 tsp baking powder
-1/2 tsp salt
-1/4 tsp baking soda
-1 c rolled oats
-2 eggs
-2 tbsp melted butter
2/3 c water

Heat oven to 350. Grease bread pan, line with waxed paper and grease the paper (this is sticky bread). Grate the zest of the orange, then peel and chop the fruit. Sprinkle with 2 tbsp sugar, set aside. In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and oats. In another bowl, beat eggs and butter. Pour egg mixture, water, and orange mixture into dry ingredients. Pour into pan, bake for an hour. Turn bread out of pan, peel off paper and allow to cool.
I usually skip the waxed paper, being an impatient little so-and-so, but then the bread usually falls apart on me. This bothers me not in the slightest.
