Notes

Vegan Sourdough Lemon Poppy Seed Bread: use 1 flax egg in place of 1 egg. To make flax eggs, simply whisk together 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed and 6 tablespoons water. Let thicken for about 10 minutes before adding to your batter.
Dairy Free Lemon Poppy Seed Bread: this is already a dairy free bread recipe
Healthier Lemon Poppy Seed Bread: use white wheat flour, whole wheat, or gluten free flour in place of all-purpose; reduce sugar or use maple syrup or honey in place of raw cane sugar; omit the glaze
