How to Make Lemon Poppy Sunburst Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a blender, grind 1/4 cup flax seeds into a fine powder.
  3. Add 1/3 cup water to the blender and blend until frothy. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, combine 1/2 cup sunflower oil (or vegetable oil), 1/2 cup tahini, and 1 cup granulated sugar.
  5. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until well combined.
  6. Beat in the reserved flax mixture until smooth.
  7. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  8. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, beating on low speed until just combined.
  9. Beat in 1 cup soy milk, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and the zest of 1 lemon.
  10. Gently fold in 1/2 cup sunflower seeds and 1/2 cup raisins.
  11. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  12. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons poppy seeds evenly over the top.
  13. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  14. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  15. Once completely cooled, slice and serve. Enjoy!
