I love homemade bread! You can eat it as a breakfast pastry with your morning coffee, or as an afternoon snack, or for dessert! Lemon Zucchini bread is a summertime hit, but honestly, you can enjoy this delectable bread during any season.
Sweetbreads are super easy to make because they don't have yeast or need any time to rest or rise. You can use pantry ingredients you already have and it only takes a few minutes to whip together.
TIP: For this bread, it is extremely important to put the glaze on. I promise you, it is a slice of heaven with that lemony glaze drizzled on top. (To be honest - I went a little overboard with my glaze, but I'm not mad about it.)
