Poppy Seed Bread
A tender American-style poppy seed quick bread finished with a bright lemon glaze.
Instructions
-
Step 1
Heat the oven to 175°C. Line the loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving enough overhang to lift out the baked loaf.
-
Step 2
Whisk the flour, granulated sugar, poppy seeds, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
-
Step 3
In the large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and almond extract until smooth.
-
Step 4
Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and fold just until no dry pockets remain. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and level the surface.
-
Step 5
Bake until the loaf is golden and a wooden skewer inserted in the center emerges without wet batter, about 50 to 60 minutes.
-
Step 6
Let the loaf cool in the pan before lifting it out by the parchment overhang.
-
Step 7
Place the loaf on the wire rack and let it cool completely.
-
Step 8
Whisk the powdered sugar and lemon juice into a smooth, pourable glaze.
-
Step 9
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled loaf. Let it set before slicing and serving.
