  9. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For an extra burst of citrus flavor, consider adding a simple lemon glaze on top of the cooled lemon poppy seed bread. Mix 1 cup of powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice until smooth, then drizzle it over the bread. Allow the glaze to set before slicing for a delightful finishing touch. This moist and flavorful bread is perfect for breakfast or as a sweet treat with your afternoon tea. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness. Enjoy the delightful combination of lemony goodness and the satisfying crunch of poppy seeds in every bite!
