For the Bread

Method
 

How to Make Lemon Poppy Seed Pull-Apart Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (or 325°F for dark pans). Grease a 9"x5" loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal later.
  2. Open the can of refrigerated biscuits and gently separate each one into two layers, giving you a total of 16 biscuit pieces.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, lemon zest, and poppy seeds to create a flavorful coating.
  4. Melt some butter in a small bowl. Brush each biscuit on both sides with melted butter and then coat them in the lemon-sugar mixture.
  5. Place the coated biscuits in the prepared loaf pan, arranging them loosely. Spoon any remaining sugar mixture in between the layers.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 30–45 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Cover with foil if it browns too quickly.
  7. After baking, allow your bread to cool for a few minutes before pulling it out. For the glaze, mix powdered sugar, cream cheese, melted butter, and lemon juice, then drizzle it over the warm bread.
