Need a sweet pick-me-up? Key lime bread might be just what you\u2019re craving! Made with Key lime juice and zest, this glazed loaf tastes like a little slice of sunshine. The bread turns out just as soft and moist as easy quick bread recipes<\/a>\u00a0like banana bread and zucchini bread.<\/p>\n You could use regular limes in this Key lime bread recipe, but it’s worth seeking out the real deal. Key limes are small, round limes known for their tart, aromatic character. Their intense, tangy flavor and slightly floral aroma are the major differentiators between Key lime vs. lime<\/a>. Commonly used in pies and cocktails, Key lime’s distinct taste adds a bright, zesty punch to any dish.<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy,\u00a0 five to seven minutes.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip: <\/em>Don\u2019t rush this step! Creaming butter and sugar<\/a> helps the quick bread turn out soft and airy.<\/p>\n Beat in the eggs. Then, beat in the lime zest, juice and vanilla.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip: <\/em>Add eggs one at a time<\/a>\u00a0for the lightest, fluffiest loaf.<\/p>\n In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition. Fold in walnuts.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip: <\/em>Mix gently. Overmixing can make the bread dense.<\/p>\n Transfer the batter to two greased 9×5-inch loaf pans. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove them to wire racks to cool completely.<\/p>\n Mix the confectioners’ sugar with enough lime juice to make a pourable glaze. Drizzle it over the warm bread. Cool completely before slicing.<\/p>\n Wrap the bread tightly in storage wrap or transfer it to an airtight container. Store the bread at room temperature for up to three days or in the fridge for up to five days.<\/p>\n You can freeze Key lime bread for up to three months. Prepare the bread as directed, but do not make the glaze. Securely wrap the cooled loaves in foil, then freeze. To use, thaw at room temperature. Prepare the glaze as directed.<\/p>\n You can zest Key limes using the same methods to zest a lemon<\/a>. We like to use a microplane or fine grater, grating only the skin and avoiding the bitter white pith underneath. When it comes time to juice the limes, roll them on the counter to soften them. Then, cut the lime<\/a> in half and squeeze the juice out with a citrus juicer (or by hand, if you don’t mind getting the juice on your hands). Due to their small size, you will definitely need more Key limes to get the same amount of juice as regular limes.<\/p>\n Key limes are great for baked recipes like Key lime bars<\/a> and Key lime pie<\/a>, but there are plenty of Key lime recipes that go beyond pie<\/a>. Key limes add a burst of flavor to marinades, salad dressings and cocktails like margaritas and mojitos. They\u2019re also great for garnishing seafood or adding a zesty touch to sauces and salsas. Their unique flavor makes them a versatile ingredient in sweet and savory recipes.<\/p>\n Fresh juice will always give the best flavor, but you can use bottled lime juice in a pinch. Just keep in mind that the flavor might be slightly less vibrant.<\/p>\n Enjoy a slice of Key lime bread plain as a snack, or add a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream for an extra treat!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I first tried this deliciously different bread at a friend’s house, and she graciously shared the recipe with me.
