Delicious Lemon Poppy Seed Bread With Glaze

For the Bread

• Preheat the oven to 350°F, and spray a 9×5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
• In a mixing bowl, sift the flour and whisk in the sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, lemon zest and poppy seeds.
  1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  ¾ cup granulated sugar

  ½ teaspoon baking powder

  ½ teaspoon baking soda

  ½ teaspoon kosher salt

  2 teaspoons lemon zest

  1 tablespoon poppy seeds
• In a second bowl, combine the milk, eggs, canola oil and vanilla extract.
  ½ cup milk

  2 large eggs

  ¼ cup canola oil

  1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and stir just until combined.
• Pour the mixture into the loaf pan, and smooth into an even layer.
• Bake for 30-40 minutes until the surface cracks and has a golden color. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean when the bread is cooked through.

For the Lemon Glaze

• While the bread bakes, make the lemon glaze. Combine the powdered sugar with the lemon juice. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. If needed, add warm water one tablespoon at a time until the desired texture is reached. For a thicker glaze add more powdered sugar.
  1 cup powdered sugar

  4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

  warm milk
• Remove the loaf from the oven and cool on a rack for 10-15 minutes before removing it from the pan and transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
• After the bread cools completely, drizzle with the lemon-sugar glaze.
• Slice and serve. See post for storage options.

• Pick up any milk you have handy.It doesn’t matter what kind! Be aware that the thickness might change based on how much fat is in the milk you use.
• Clean and grease the pan.This helps you take the bread out more easily and keeps the bottom from getting burned. Or use parchment paper to make it easier to clean!

• Let it cool before sealing.While the bread is still hot, add the sauce. It will melt off.
