Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375℉. Grease a bread pan with butter or oil.
- In a large bowl mix the flour, poppy seeds, baking powder and salt together.
- In another bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, vegetable oil, plain yogurt, milk, vanilla extract, lemon zest and lemon juice, and whisk well.
- Add the wet ingredients into the flour bowl and slowly stir just until fully incorporated. Do not over mix.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared bread pan, transfer to the oven and bake for 45 min to 1 hour or until you insert a toothpick in the middle and it comes out clean.
- In the meantime whisk the powdered sugar and lemon juice together to make the glaze, add more lemon juice or powdered sugar as necessary until you get the consistency you want.
- Cool the bread in the loaf pan for 5 minutes then remove the bread from the loaf pan and transfer it to a cooling rack to cool completely. Let bread cool completely before drizzling with lemon icing.

Notes
- Use Fresh Lemons: I recommend using freshly squeezed lemon juice and zest for the best flavor. It really makes a difference compared to bottled juice.
- Don't Overmix: Gently stir the wet and dry ingredients until just combined to keep the bread light and tender.
- Adjust the Icing: Customize the lemon icing by adding more powdered sugar for a thicker glaze or more lemon juice to thin it out, depending on your preference.
- Test for Doneness: Start checking the bread at 45 minutes with a toothpick to avoid overbaking, which can dry it out.
- Cool Completely Before Icing: Let the bread cool fully before drizzling the icing so it sets nicely on top instead of melting.
