Step 6

Optional : while the loaf is baking, prepare the icing. Combine : 100g of icing sugar & the juice of half a lemon, until smooth & glossy.

Step 7

Once the loaf is golden, plant the tip of a knife into the center of the loaf. If it comes out clean, the loaf is ready, otherwise, bake it for another 2-3 min.
