I received this recipe as part of a gift, along with a lemon thyme plant and a fresh loaf of this pound cake-like bread. Everyone who tries it asks for the recipe. —Jeannette Mango, Parkesburg, Pennsylvania

The flavor of this "bread" is so wonderful & bright! Absolutely delicious & not too sweet, although it's definitely a dessert type bread. The glaze is tangy & adds just the right amount of sweet. It is moist but seems a little crumbly, so it may need a little oil or applesauce(?). I followed the recipe exactly with the exception being that I made four mini loafs (approx 3X5) instead of one large. They baked perfect & everyone who tasted it loved it! Great recipe & great to give as a gift or bring to a party.

At first I thought that the flavors in this bread would be weird, but that was what made me want to try it. I was pleasantly surprised! The lemon and thyme went together really well. The bread was very moist and flavorful. I would recommend baking it for about 50 minutes, mine was still a little unbaked in the middle. It also was a little crumbly, when I inverted it from the pan, the bread split in half and crumbled when cut. Overall, great bread! Don't be driven away from the different combination of flavors.

Outstanding! Moist and flavorful, and just different enough that I'm always asked for the recipe. I normally make 2 loaves at a time, and it freezes well. Add some lemon zest and a bit of chopped thyme to the glaze, too.

I did not like the flavor of this. I was hoping for a nice light, lemony bread, but it tasted very odd with the thyme in it.

everyone loves this bread. My in-laws don't like anything I make that sounds different or new so I told them it was lemon bread and they liked it

I simply loves lemon anything and this bread is another winner. We made it while some family was over and the loaf disappeared! This bread has a wonderful smooth texture and it's soooo moist. FIVE STARS!
