Poppy Seed Bread with Lemon Curd
Poppy seeds add a crunchy texture and slightly nutty taste to this sunny yellow quick bread. Because the batter is particularly thick, the citrus curd can be spread on top of it and will remain there, rather than sink to the bottom of the pan. The addition of lemon zest to the batter intensifies the bread’s citrus flavor.
