How To Make lemon poppy seed bread
-
Step 1In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, poppy seeds, baking soda and the zest from two lemons. (reserve lemons for the juice)
-
Step 2In a smaller bowl combine sour cream, butter, eggs, vanilla, and juice from 1 of your lemons, reserving the other for the glaze.
-
Step 3Add your wet ingredients to your dry ingredients, stir just till combined. Pour mixture into loaf pan.
-
Step 4Preheat oven to 350 degrees, spray a 5"X9" loaf pan with cooking spray (I use the one with flour already in it), or you may use a muffin pan. Cook for 40 minutes, or until golden brown and toothpick comes out clean.
-
Step 5Allow to cool for about 10 minutes, while you prepare the glaze.
-
Step 6Glaze: Squeeze juice from other lemon into a glass measuring cup and add equal parts sugar. (I got about 1/4C from my lemon, so I added 1/4C sugar to it) Place in microwave and heat till sugar is dissolved.
-
Step 7Using a skewer, poke holes in bread and ladel glaze over the top of the bread to soak down into holes. Allow to cool completely on wire rack.
