Instructions

6. Mix in ½ cup whole milk, 1 tablespoon freshly grated lemon zest, and 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice until just combined.
7. Gently fold the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients with a spatula until no streaks of flour remain, being careful not to overmix.

15. Bake in the preheated oven at 350°F for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean with a few moist crumbs.
16. Tip: If the streusel starts to brown too quickly, loosely tent the loaf with aluminum foil halfway through baking.
17. Remove the pan from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes.
