A mild lemon flavor comes through in this tall loaf flecked with poppy seeds. "Slices are good spread with nutmeg butter or cream cheese," suggests Claudia Moffatt of Manchester, Missouri.

This is a great breakfast bread! I was so impressed with the first loaf that I made another for a friend.

I tried this special bread one evening so we would have a quick breakfast on a rushed morning. We ate the whole loaf in 2 days, and I immediately made another loaf to take to a church lunch. Everyone who ate it loved it, and the nutmeg butter is a lovely touch.
