¾ teaspoons xanthan gum (if your gluten-free flour contains xanthan gum, skip this step)
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup poppy seeds
2 packed tablespoons grated lemon rind
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup canola oil
3 large eggs
½ teaspoon lemon extract
¾ cup milk
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350° Grease two loaf pans with cooking spray.
Mix flour, baking powder, xanthan gum (if using), salt, poppy seeds, and lemon extract in a bowl. Set aside.
Combine sugar, oil, eggs, and lemon extract in a large bowl of an electric mixer. Beat for 1 minute. Add flour mixture and mix until just blended.
Put the batter into the loaf pans. Bake 35-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes and remove breads onto a cooling rack. Cool completely before serving.
If wrapped tightly, the bread can be stored in the freezer for 3 months.
