Glazed Lemon Poppy Seed Bread
Indulge in this sweet lemon poppy seed loaf – topped with a powdered sugar glaze.
The two flavors of lemon and poppy seed combine perfectly to bring you an irresistible bread.
Serve it as a dessert or breakfast – either way works great.
You’ll use a lemon juicer and then a lemon zester to add all the delicious lemon flavor to this recipe.
These two tools make it a cinch to prepare your lemons for the recipe. They’re priceless kitchen gadgets that you’ll end up using all the time! I use the zester for grading hard cheeses, too.
