Reviews
Both my wife and I loved this recipe. As you can see from the photo we demolished more than half the loaf I made. I only used half ingredients being it was only my wife & I. Realizing I didn’t have poppyseeds until after I started making it, I kept on trucking. The only thing I added was some powered sugar to the top prior to putting into oven. When it came out, it had a glaze finish on top. It was so dam good, we just stood around the dish and devoured the dish. Well done on this one
I added the zest from one lemon as I wanted the lemon flavor to really pop. Delicious.
Super easy and with the exception of the lemon extract, all the ingredients are the basic in your pantry. I must note that the ingredients list baking soda AND baking powder, but the recipe omits the baking powder. I added it anyway, and the bread came out perfect. Not trying to nit-pick, but maybe an edit would clear up any confusion. Thank you! Karen
I cut the sugar back to 1 cup and I’m glad I did. I only had 1 tsp lemon extract so I added 1 tbs of lemon zest and 1 tbs lemon juice. After tasting it I thought it was a bit on the dry side so I wound up glazing it with a combination of fresh squeezed lemon juice and powdered sugar. I liked it a lot better with the glaze.
