As a rule, we always make everything in a double batch (because hungry boys), and I almost wish I’d made this Lemon Poppy Seed Bread in triple because it’s so good. The flavor is the perfect balance of lemon.

This delicious Lemon Poppy Seed Bread recipe is quick and easy to make and is bursting with bright lemon flavor. It is homemade bread at its best!
