The tartness of the lemon and the warm, mellow flavor of the canola oil pair perfectly with honey—try it with cream cheese and thinly sliced pears as a topping!
Here's how:
-
1
Dissolve the yeast and canola oil in water at 20 °C.
-
2
Add the wheat flour, honey, and thyme, and knead the dough for 20 minutes by hand, or 14 minutes in a stand mixer.
-
3
Add the salt, grated lemon zest, and lemon pulp, and knead the dough for another 2 minutes or so.
-
4
Let the dough rest for 50 minutes.
-
5
Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface, divide it, and shape it as desired.
-
6
Place in a greased pan or on a sheet of parchment paper, drizzle generously with canola oil, and press a little thyme into the dough using your fingertips. Let rise for 30 minutes.
-
7
Preheat the oven to 225 °C.

Bake the bread for about 15–20 minutes until it reaches an internal temperature of 98°C. Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack.
