We are proud to present our first lemon poppy seed bread! This cake-like bread is just as delicious for dessert as it is at lunch, just as good as a good tea. For a double dose of citrus, cover it with lemon ice. A simple reminder: Like nuts, poppy seeds tend to rancid after a while. Therefore it is highly recommended to taste it before incorporating it into the dough.
