Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 lemon Zest of a lemon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 Egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, black pepper, baking powder, and lemon zest.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine the lemon juice, milk, melted butter, and egg. Whisk until smooth and well-blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be lumpy.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the loaf pan from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Carefully transfer the bread onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the subtle lemony kick and peppery spice in every bite!
