- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons poppy seeds

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Grease 2 loaf pans and line with wax paper.
- Mix together flour, salt, baking powder, eggs, oil, sugar, milk, poppy seeds, butter flavor, vanilla and almond flavor for 1 to 2 minutes with a hand mixer or Kitchen aid mixer.
- Divide the batter into the 2 prepared loaf pans.
- Bake for 45 to 50 minutes until the top of the bread cracks and is dry.
- For glaze, mix together orange juice, sugar, butter flavor, almond flavor and vanilla.
- Make holes in the top of the bread with a fork, and spoon glaze over top while the bread is still warm.
- Loosen the sides of the bread with a knife and invert to release the bread from the pan. Remove the wax paper by peeling it off.
Notes
- We use 9x5-inch loaf pans.
You can also use 8x4-inch loaf pans or mini loaf pans. Just be sure to watch the baking time, especially on the mini loafs. - Double or triple this poppy seed bread with glaze recipe if desired.
- Wondering what to bake for Christmas gifts? This is it! This is the recipe!
- The almond glaze for this bread is delicious. It's made with orange juice, butter flavoring, vanilla and almond extracts. Steal this glaze recipe and use it on other cakes, cookies and breads. YUM!
- Look for butter flavoring in the baking department at the grocery store with the other extracts like vanilla.
- Line your pans with wax paper and grease generously to allow the breads to come out smoothly and easily from the pans.
- Bake this poppy seed bread with glaze ahead of time, wrap in plastic wrap and foil, and freeze. Then, pull it out when a guest arrives last minute, or bake ahead a few weeks before the holidays to save yourself time.
