Poppy Seed Bread

Ingredients
Bread Ingredients: 3 cups flour 2 cups sugar 1 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1 1/2 cups milk 1 1/4 cups oil 3 eggs 2 teaspoons poppy seeds 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 teaspoons almond extract or flavoring Topping Ingredients: 2 teaspoons margarine 3/4 cup sugar 1/4 cup orange juice 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon almond flavoring Directions
Preheat oven to 350 F. Sift together flour, sugar, salt and baking powder in a bowl. Add remaining ingredients. Beat 2 minutes. Pour into greased baking pans**. Bake at 350 degrees for about one hour. The top will be nicely browned and an inserted knife should come out clean. Put all topping ingredients in a 2-quart measuring cup and heat in the microwave until melted. (This takes about 2-3 minutes.) Poke holes in bread with fork. Pour topping over bread while bread it's hot.
** Approximate yield: Two 9-inch loaf pans or 4-6 mini-loaf pans or 24 muffins.
Dress up your table by using small loaf pans and placing a loaf at each person's table setting. This bread is also perfect as a gift for a neighbor or friend to enjoy. Just wrap it in foil or clear wrap and tie with a festive ribbon. (Note: I keep the bread in the refrigerator after the first day.) Forward to a Friend Print this Page
