Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.25 cup Poppy seeds
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt, low sodium
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with a bit of butter or use a non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and poppy seeds until evenly combined.
In another bowl, mix the granulated sugar and melted butter until the mixture is smooth. Add the Greek yogurt, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until all the wet ingredients are well mixed.
Add the lemon zest to the wet mixture and stir until distributed evenly.
Gradually combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, gently folding them together. Be careful not to over-mix as this can result in a tough bread.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve slices of poppy seed bread as is, or with a spread of unsalted butter or a light glaze of lemon.
Enjoy your flavorful, low sodium poppy seed bread!
