BETSY'S LEMON-CRANBERRY BREAD
Found in a TOH magazine and clipped out to try! Boy was I ever glad I did. A lemony loaf of bread with the extra zip of dried cranberries. I've made this as a regular sized loaf and also in mini loaf sizes for gifts. I have also used walnuts and almonds in this bread and actually prefer the almonds - but use whatever nut you love. The addition of the lemon glaze just takes this bread over the top. *** Edited 11/19/09 - This recipe makes TWO 9x5x3" pans instead of one. Sorry for my error! If you want just one loaf just halve the recipe and it will work perfectly! ***

OLD-FASHIONED LEMON BREAD
This is a wonderful bread that goes very well with tea. I like this recipe over other lemon bread recipes I've found because the glaze is allowed to saturate the bread all the way through.

Tips:
- To ensure your lemon-glazed nut bread turns out perfectly, measure all ingredients accurately using measuring cups and spoons. Don't eyeball it!
- Use fresh lemon zest for the best flavor. Avoid pre-packaged or bottled lemon zest as it can be less flavorful and fragrant.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense loaf of bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the bread in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that the bread rises evenly and cooks thoroughly.
- Check the bread for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the bread is done. If it comes out with wet batter, bake for a few more minutes.
- Allow the bread to cool completely before glazing. This will help the glaze set properly.
Conclusion:
Lemon-glazed nut bread is a delicious and versatile quick bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. With its moist, flavorful crumb and sweet, tangy glaze, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a tasty and easy-to-make treat, give this recipe a try.
