Lemon Poppyseed Bread

Teresa Ambra
Lemon Poppyseed Bread is an incredibly tasty homemade yeast bread for the breadmaker. This one has the essence of lemon and poppyseeds. It's a great dinner bread because it's not very sweet. If your family enjoys home-baked bread, this one is perfect for family or company dinners. Makes a 2-pound loaf.

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.
