Glazed Lemon Anise Bread Recipes

GLAZED LEMON BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper (leaving an overhang on the two longer sides) then grease the parchment paper lightly with cooking spray.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating between each addition.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, lemon juice and lemon zest. Alternately add the flour mixture and the buttermilk mixture to the stand mixer, beating between each addition. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake it for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
• Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool for 15 minutes in the pan. Using the parchment paper overhangs, transfer the bread to a cooling rack, remove the parchment paper and allow the bread to cool completely before topping it with the glaze (recipe follows).
• Sift the confectioners' sugar into a small bowl then stir in the lemon zest. Start by whisking 2 tablespoons of lemon juice into the sugar until you have a smooth, pourable glaze. If the glaze is still too thick, stir in more lemon juice 1 teaspoon at a time until it reaches a pourable consistency.
• Pour the glaze atop the completely cooled bread. Allow the bread to sit for 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
