Ingredients
  

For the Bread
  • 2 cups all purpose flour Substitution: Whole wheat flour can add a nuttier flavor but may alter texture.

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg (beaten lightly)
  • 0.75 cups milk or half & half Substitution: Non-dairy milk can be used for a lactose-free option.
  • 0.33 cups olive oil Can substitute with melted butter or a neutral oil.
  • 2 whole lemons (juice and peel) Use only fresh lemons for best taste; save some juice for the glaze.
  • 2 tablespoons dried lavender or fresh lavender Ensure it is culinary lavender for safe consumption.
For the Glaze
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 whole lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons butter

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a standard loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, combine the egg, milk, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, and lavender; whisk until smooth.
  4. Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
  5. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for about 50 minutes.
  6. Let the loaf cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. For the glaze, melt the butter and mix in confectioners' sugar and lemon juice until smooth.
  8. Drizzle the glaze over the bread after it has cooled completely.
