Poppyseed Bread

This makes two loaves–keep one and give the other one away. Or freeze the other one. Or eat it immediately because it’s that fricking good.

Bread:
3 cups Flour (use whole wheat for a heartier texture. You can even use half white and half whole wheat flour.)
3 cups Sugar
3 Eggs
1-1/2 cups Milk (soy or dairy)
1 cup Vegetable Oil
1-1/2 tsp Baking Powder
1-1/2 tsp Salt
2 tsp Poppy Seeds
2 tsp Vanilla extract
2 tsp Almond flavoring
2 tsp Butter

Mix 1-2 minutes in mixer. Pour into greased and floured loaf pans. Bake at 350* for one hour.

Glaze:
1/4 cup Orange Juice
3/4 cup Sugar
1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
1/2 tsp Butter
1/2 tsp Almond flavoring

Mix and melt for about 30 seconds in microwave. Pour over slightly cooled bread. Enjoy for breakfast or dessert!

Thanks to Carolyn K. for this recipe. She gave me a loaf of her own once after I helped her fix her car tire. After that I was hooked.
