Method

Stir together the flour, sugar, yeast, lemon zest, salt and poppyseeds. Add in the butter (melted) and milk, slightly warmed in the microwave. Mix to form a rough dough

Once the dough comes together, knead for about 10 mins (we used an electric mixer). Cover with a tea towel and rest for 1hr

Microwave the 80g butter for a few seconds to soften (or just allow it to warm to room temperature). Mix the sugar and zest of 1 lemon by rubbing it in with your fingertips

Place the dough on a floured surface. Roll it out to roughly 12 x 18 inch. Spread the butter all over the surface of the dough, then sprinkle the lemon sugar. Roll it up along the long edge

Slice the log along the middle, and then braid the two strands together. Roll the log into a circle, pinching the ends together. Place in a large cake tin, and prove again for 45 mins, covered. Bake the loaf at 180C for 40-45 mins. Whilst baking, combine the icing ingredients to make a smooth glaze. Drizzle over the loaf when done
