Poppy Seed Lemon Loaves

By Sarah-Lyn

These light golden loaves have just a hint of almond flavor mixed in with the lemon.

Ingredients

• 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons poppy seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon peel
• 2/3 cup plain yogurt
• 1/3 cup butter, melted
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 egg yolk, beaten
• 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon almond extract

Preparation

Step 1

In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, poppy seeds, baking soda and lemon peel. Combine the remaining ingredients; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Spoon into two greased 5-3/4-in. x 3-in. x 2-in. loaf pans. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Yield: 2 mini loaves.

Editor's Note:The baked bread may be frozen for up to 2 months.
