Ingredients:
For the Bread:
-
2 c. flour
-
1¾ tsp. baking powder
-
½ tsp. salt
-
1 c. ricotta cheese
-
2 eggs
-
⅔ c. sugar
-
2 Tbsp. lime zest

3 Tbsp. poppy seeds
For the Raspberry Balsamic Glaze:
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly oil a 9-inch loaf pan.
-
In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a separate bowl, mix ricotta cheese and eggs until smooth. Add Lime Olive Oil, sugar, lime zest, and poppy seeds. Stir to combine.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Let the bread cool completely before adding the glaze.
-
To make the Raspberry Balsamic Glaze: Pour Raspberry Balsamic into a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Bring to a gentle boil and simmer for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze coats the back of a spoon. (Note: Reduction time may vary depending on pan size.)
-
Once the bread is fully cooled, drizzle with the Raspberry Balsamic Glaze.
