Poppy-Seed Bread  (submitted by Caroline

Thompson to A Taste of Heaven).  I added a

few comments to what's printed in the book.

 

3 cups flour

2 1/2 cups sugar

1 1/2 tsp. salt

1 1/2 tsp. baking powder

3 eggs, beaten

1 1/2 cup milk

1 1/2 cup oil

1 1/2 tsp. vanilla

1 1/2 tsp. almond extract

1 1/2 tsp. butter

1/4 cup poppy seeds

Combine ingredients in order given.  Mix well with

beaters for two minutes; (or much longer with a whisk. 

Count on an upper body workout!   It will help atone

for the calories you're about to consume.)   Pour

batter into two greased loaf pans.  Bake @

325 degrees for 45-60 minutes.  (I use three

loaf pans, and my oven requires 60 + minutes. 

Use the toothpick test, and watch for the sides

of the loaf to shrink from the loaf pan.  Count

on longer baking times if you use a larger loaf pan.)

 

This glaze is excellent, but not recommended if

blood sugar is a big issue:

 

3/4 cups powdered sugar

1 Tbs. orange juice

1/2 tsp. vanilla

1/2 tsp. butter

1/2 tsp. almond extract

Mix all ingredients and pour over warm bread.
