Materials
Bread:
- 1/4 cup butter, room temperature
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 Tbsp. lemon zest
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, lemon or vanilla
- 1/4 cup milk
Glaze:
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 Tbsp. lemon juice, fresh or refrigerated
- 1-2 tsp. lemon zest, (optional topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Grease 9 x 5" loaf pan.
Bread:
- In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and lemon zest.
- In small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In another small bowl, (I use a clear measuring cup), mix together Greek yogurt and milk.
- Alternately add flour mixture and milk mixture into large bowl.
- Scrape sides, beat until mixture is smooth and thoroughly mixed. Pour into prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50 - 55 minutes. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then remove to wire rack.
Glaze:
- In small bowl, thoroughly whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice. Pour in stages over bread, thus allowing time for glaze to set up and not spill over sides.
- Sprinkle top with optional lemon zest for a pretty splash or color and added tartness. Enjoy!
