Ingredients
✓ 2 large eggs (room temperature)
✓ 4 oz unsalted butter (melted and cooled slightly)
✓ 2 tbsp grated lemon peel (from 1-2 organic lemons)
✓ 1/4 tsp baking soda
✓ 0.5 oz olive oil (or other neutral oil)
✓ 6 fl oz milk
✓ 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
✓ 2 tsp baking powder
✓ 1 tsp vanilla extract
✓ 3.5 oz sourdough starter (unfed discard)
✓ 7.1 oz granulated sugar (finely ground)
✓ 8.8 oz all-purpose flour
✓ 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
✓ Preheat your oven to 350°F with a rack positioned in the middle.
✓ Grease a loaf pan and set aside.
✓ Whisk together eggs, milk, lemon juice, olive oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
✓ Stir in grated lemon peel evenly throughout the mixture.
✓ Add sourdough starter, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and all-purpose flour into the bowl with the wet ingredients. Mix gently until a dough forms but avoid overmixing.
✓ Pour the dough into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top.
✓ Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the loaf is golden brown.
✓ Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan and place on a wire rack.
✓ While the loaf is still warm, prepare glaze by mixing fresh lemon juice with milk and powdered sugar until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled loaf allowing the sugar to melt slightly into the surface for added texture.
Notes
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing. Do not overmix the dough to maintain a tender crumb structure.
