Today’s recipe is Lemony Poppy Seed Bread that the whole family is obsessed with!
We’ve always been fans of the lemon and poppy seed combo and knew it would be great in bread form (we’re already big fans of lemon poppy seed muffins).
This particular bread is very soft and very sweet. This might help us add 1 cup of sour cream and a little extra lemon to add flavor and make it one of our favorite quick bread recipes.
We’re glad we added lemon to the glaze as the bread itself isn’t too lemony. With sour cream, it makes the bread so soft and moist.
Just mix and bake!

Tips, Changes + Stored Information
- Bring cold ingredients like eggs, milk and sour cream to Room temperature First, they bond better when you mix them together to make a smoother batter and a more evenly textured loaf.
- crack on your bread – This is a good sign! It just means that the bread expands properly to dissipate heat as it cooks. Don’t worry if you don’t notice cracks on the top, sometimes it can be due to expired baking powder, or any factor in the baking process. It usually tastes just as good.
- Substitute for plain yogurt For the sour cream, just make sure it’s not a fat free variety.
- add some sliced ​​lemons Serve on top of bread as a pretty garnish before serving.
make this bread ahead of time and freeze Up to 6 months! Best wrapped in plastic wrap and stored in a Ziploc freezer bag or wrapped in aluminum foil. We also recommend waiting to thaw overnight in the refrigerator before adding the glaze. One more thing to note – if you’re going to glaze it, you bring it to room temperature first.
shop This bread also keeps for a few days in the fridge.
