Lemon Poppyseed Bread

Teresa Ambra

This tasty Lemon Poppyseed Bread  is not your typical sweetbread. This is a yeast bread made in the breadmaker. It’s quick, easy and makes a wonderful dinner bread because it’s not overly sweet. It has the essence of lemon and poppy seeds. The loaf is fluffy and airy rather than the denser, heavier loaf that characterizes most sweet breads.

I love baking homemade bread. I also love eating it. 🙂 I can make a meal out of homemade bread and butter. Yum. I suppose I have such great memories of homemade bread because my mom made homemade bread once or twice a week when I was growing up. She would make about 10-15 loaves at a time. My siblings and I would hungrily demolish them in short order.

It was an all-day project. Mom would start first thing in the morning and the last loaves would come out of the oven about the time we got home from school. We would come home to the smell of fresh, home baked bread wafting through the house. We lived on homemade bread and rarely ate store-bought bread. Our school lunches always included homemade bread with peanut butter and jelly. We could never get enough of it.

A couple of weeks ago our church was celebrating the retirement of one of our ministers and they needed bread. So I signed up to bring five assorted loaves of homemade breadmaker bread. Lemon Poppyseed Bread was one of those loaves. Now, if you’re expecting a really sweet bread like most Lemon Poppyseed Breads, you will be disappointed, because this recipe is not that sweet. I also brought Ten Grain Nut Bread, Maple Raisin Fig Bread, Apple Cinnamon Granola Bread and Sunflower Walnut Bread. Did I say I enjoy a loaf of homemade bread?

This is a nice yeast bread with just a light flavoring of lemon and poppy seeds. The texture and taste is completely different from the kind of bread made with baking powder. But, if you’re looking for a tasty yeast bread, by all means, give Lemon Poppyseed Bread a try. Add a pat of butter to that slice while you’re at it! Or maybe some orange marmalade or raspberry preserves…..

Equipment

  • 1 breadmaker for a two-pound loaf
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • 1 pastry brush to brush bread with butter after baking
  • 1 electric knife preferred, or sharp bread knife to cut bread
  • 1 lemon zester or grater

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/3 cups hot water
  • 3 tbsp. powdered milk
  • 2 tbsp. Crisco shortening
  • 2 tbsp. granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 tbsp. lemon juice
  • 4 1/4 cups bread flour NOT all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp. nutmeg
  • 2 tsp. grated lemon rind
  • 2 tbsp. poppy seeds
  • 1 1/4 tsp. yeast
  • 2 tsp. vital wheat gluten

Instructions
 

  • Layer ingredients in bread canister in order listed.
  • Select basic bread setting.
  • After baking, allow bread to remain in oven 15 minutes before removing.
  • Brush top and sides of bread with butter to prevent crust from hardening.
  • Allow bread to rest an additional 15 minutes before cutting down in slices.
  • Makes about 12 large slices or about 24 half slices
  • Makes a 2-lb. loaf.

Notes

NOTE: Homemade bread has no preservatives so it needs to be refrigerated after 2 days.
 
NOTE: all-purpose flour does not contain the necessary gluten to bond the ingredients together as well as bread flour. The bread may turn out crumbly. For best results use bread flour.
 
NOTE: I recommend using Fleischmann's yeast or bread machine yeast in any yeast bread recipe. Red Star yeast just doesn't work as well.

This is NOT a sweet bread. It has the essence of lemon and poppy seeds only. It is like a [url href=”http://cantstayoutofthekitchen.com/2013/08/28/basic-white-bread/” target=”_blank” title=”basic white bread”]basic white bread[/url] with lemon and poppy seeds included. Because there is little sugar and it raises with the yeast, don’t expect the denser, sweeter, lemon poppy seed bread you may be used to.

    I’d love to try this recipe but don’t want to leave anything out. So, I’m wondering about the line that says: 1 ½ tsp. tsp.

    Can you clarify please? Thank you.

      Oh, Moira, I am so sorry! What a good catch. I’ve changed the recipe card now. It’s supposed to be 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Thanks again, and I hope you enjoy the recipe.

        Hi Teresa, I was going try this right away but I see I have to go out and get some powdered milk.

          Well, I bet you could substitute 1 1/2 cups regular milk (or cream for that matter) for the 1 1/2 cups hot water and powdered milk in the recipe. I do it all the time. Although I always keep dry powdered milk on hand now since that’s what most breadmakers seem to use.
