Specialty Recipe

Poppy Seed Bread

Ingredients:

3 cups flour

2-1/2 cups sugar

1-1/2 teaspoons salt

1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla

1-1/2 teaspoons almond extract

1 Tablespoon poppy seeds

3 eggs

1-1/2 cups milk

1-1/3 cups oil

Glaze:

3/4 cup powdered sugar

1/4 cup orange juice

1/2 teaspoon vanilla and almond extract

2 Tablespoons melted butter

Bread: Mix all ingredients together and beat about 2 minutes. Grease and flour 2 loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.

Glaze: Mix together and spoon over hot loaves. You may want to use a pastry brush to ensure even distribution. Let it absorb into bread.

NOTE: It's great to make miniature loaves for guests or even gifts, but remember, 3 mini pans equal 1 regular - so this recipe will make 6 minis.
