Note

For best results, use fresh lemons rather than bottled juice for a brighter, more complex flavor.

You can add a sprinkle of sea salt or a drizzle of olive oil for added richness.

If you prefer a stronger lemon flavor, zest a small amount of lemon peel over the bread before adding the juice.

This dish is best served immediately; storing it may cause the bread to become soggy.
