Lemon Poppy Seed Bread Recipe
Description
The Lemon Poppy Seed Bread Recipe produces tender, moist bread loaves with a soft crumb thanks to the use of sour cream, milk, and vegetable oil in the batter. The inclusion of poppy seeds contributes a nutty crunch that contrasts with the smooth texture. Lemon and vanilla extracts infuse the bread with fresh, citrus notes balancing the sweetness imparted by ample sugar.
After baking in three loaf pans, the bread is topped with a glaze combining orange juice, powdered sugar, and lemon extract. This glaze adds both moisture and a bright finish to the bread, enhancing the acidity and flavor complexity.
The bread is suitable for serving as a sweet breakfast treat or snack alongside tea or coffee. Allowing the loaves to cool completely after glazing ensures the topping sets well for neat slices and handling.
