Glazed Grapefruit Yogurt Bread

I know... you're thinking grapefruit?!  Why?!  Hold your horses, this citrus bread is amazingly yummy.  Give this recipe a try... you'll be glad you did!

Adapted from SmittenKitchen.com's grapefruit yogurt cake.


Glazed Grapefruit Yogurt Bread (yields 1 loaf)
1 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
1/4 c. spent grain flour
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking powder
1 c. plain greek yogurt
1 c. white sugar
3 large eggs
zest of 2 grapefruits
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 c. vegetable oil

1/3 c. freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
1 tbsp. white sugar

Glaze:
1 c. powdered sugar
2 tbsp. freshly squeezed grapefruit juice

------------------------------------------------

Preheat the oven to 350F.  Grease a loaf pan and line the bottom with parchment paper (this makes for super easy removal).  Set aside.

In a medium bowl, mix together flours, salt, and baking powder.  Set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, 1 cup sugar, eggs, grapefruit zest, and vanilla.  Gradually whisk in the flour mixture.  Using a rubber spatula, fold in the oil until fully incorporated. 

Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.  Bake in preheated oven for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into center of loaf comes out clean.

While the loaf is baking, in a small saucepan, mix the 1/3 cup grapefruit juice with the 1 tablespoon of sugar.  Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved.  Set aside. 

After the loaf has finished baking, let cool on a wire rack for at least ten minutes.  Remove bread and place on wire rack over a baking sheet.  Slowly drizzle grapefruit sugar mixture over loaf.  Let bread cool completely. 

While bread is cooling, prepare the glaze.  Mix together the powdered sugar and the 2 tablespoons of grapefruit juice.  Drizzle over bread. Let glaze set.

Enjoy!
