Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons. Fresh lemons will give your bread the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Zest your lemons before juicing them. Lemon zest is the flavorful part of the lemon peel. When you zest a lemon, you're removing the zest from the peel without removing the white pith. The white pith is bitter, so you don't want to include it in your bread.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your bread tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This is the best way to tell if the bread is done baking.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing it. This will help the bread to hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Lemon bread is a delicious and versatile quick bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover lemons. With so many different recipes to choose from, you're sure to find a lemon bread recipe that you'll love. So next time you have a craving for something sweet and lemony, give one of these recipes a try!
