Rainy days, a leaking roof, and Glazed Lemon Bread. That was our weekend.
We were expecting a big storm to hit here in California, we knew there would be a lot of rain. We did not expect, however, to have to deal with a leaky roof all weekend. Too much stress, so I decided to bake something. The good that came out of it was this delicious Glazed Lemon Bread.
My poor husband and son were out in the nasty weather checking the gutters, then into the attic to see if they could find the problem. Finally decided to call the roofer and we were very happy to find someone willing to come out on a Sunday morning. He had the problem fixed in no time. Evidently, there was a broken tile that was somehow missed by the contractor we had out to inspect the roof last spring.
While the guys were working away, I decided to de-stress and do a little baking. This yummy Glazed Lemon Bread is made with fresh lemons and a bit of Greek Yogurt.
It is simple to put together, and oh so moist and delicious.
We have a lot more rain coming in this week so I am hoping that everything stays dry in the house. If not, there will probably be a lot more baking going on.
Glazed Lemon Bread
3 tablespoons Canola Oil
3/4 cup Sugar
1/4 cup Greek Yogurt (I used Vanilla)
2 Eggs
1/4 cup Lemon Juice
Rind from 1 – 2 Lemons (about 1 tablespoon)
1/2 cup Milk
1/2 teaspoon Salt
2 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
1 3/4 cups All Purpose Flour
For Glaze:
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
2 tablespoons Sugar
Pre-heat the oven to 325 degrees.
In a large bowl, mix together the oil, sugar, yogurt, eggs, lemon juice, lemon rind, and milk.
Add the flour, baking powder, and salt to the liquid ingredients. Mix just until the dry ingredients are blended in completely.
Pour the batter into a bread pan that has been sprayed with non stick spray.
Bake in the oven for 45 – 55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center.
Mix together the lemon juice and sugar for the glaze. Spoon over the top of the hot bread and return to the oven for 3 – 5 minutes.
Remove the Glazed Lemon Bread from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
