Daring Bakers' Challenge: Quick bread


The Daring Bakers’ February 2012 host was – Lis! Lisa stepped in last minute and challenged us to create a quick bread we could call our own. She supplied us with a base recipe and shared some recipes she loves from various websites and encouraged us to build upon them and create new flavor profiles.


I decided to go for a lemon bread. I think we've established that I love citrus flavors, even during (what is supposed to be) winter. It's chock-full of lemon zest and lemon juice, but I decided to increase the flavor even more by adding on a lemon glaze. As usual, the office enjoyed it. And like the name said, the bread was quick and easy to put together. Best of both worlds!

  1. I really like the rustic homemade look of the lemon loaf, and the lemon glaze is a great idea to boost the lemon-y flavour. Nice crumb in the loaf as well. Cheers from Audax in Sydney Australia.

  3. Out of interest, is lemon bread healthier or lemon cake? Are they pretty much the same in terms of calories?
