If you don't have an instant-read thermometer the bread should sound hollow when tapped and be a dark golden brown. Cover the bread with foil the last 15-20 minutes of baking if it is getting too brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the bread cool for about 5 minutes before inverting the pan on a wire cooling rack. Let the bread cool completely before glazing. The bread is also yummy served warm either with or without the lemon glaze.
