Step 4: Bring It Together
Add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients in batches, alternating with the milk. Mix only until everything is incorporated.
Step 5: Add Zest & Mix-Ins
Gently fold in the lemon zest, the walnuts if you’re using them, and the blueberries so they’re evenly dispersed throughout the batter.
Step 6: Bake the Loaf
Transfer the batter into your prepared loaf pan and level the top. Bake for 60–70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 7: Make the Glaze
While the bread is in the oven, whisk together the lemon juice, melted butter, and confectioners’ sugar until smooth and pourable.
Step 8: Add the Glaze
When the bread is done, let it cool for a few minutes, then drizzle the glaze over the warm loaf.
Step 9: Slice & Enjoy
Allow the bread to cool fully before cutting into slices. It pairs wonderfully with tea or coffee.
