Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 20

POPPY SEED BREAD
3 cups flour
2 1/4 cups sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
3 Tbsp poppy seed
1 1/2 tsp almond extract
1 1/2 tsp butter flavoring
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups milk
5-6 drops yellow food coloring (optional)
LEMON GLAZE
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 tsp butter flavoring
1/2 tsp almond extract
1 tsp vanilla
2-3 Tbsp sliced almonds

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease bottom only of two standard 9" x 5" loaf pans.
  • Mix dry ingredients together, then add eggs, extracts, milk, and oil and stir together just until all ingredients are moistened, scraping down the sides of the bowl once or twice. If you use a mixer, use low speed. You do not want to over-mix. The mixture will have the consistency of cake batter.
  • Pour in loaf pans and bake for approximately one hour until toothpick or cake tester comes out clean.
  • Make the glaze while the bread is baking because you will put it on the bread while it's still pretty warm. I like to put the glaze in a small pitcher for easy, even pouring.
  • When the bread comes out of the oven and while still in the pan, let it cool for 5 minutes, then poke holes in it with a skewer or fork with skinny tines and pour glaze over the top. If you want to garnish with sliced almonds, glaze lightly, add almonds and glaze again to make the almonds stick.
  • Let cool completely in the pan. To remove from pan run knife along edges of the loaf to loosen and turn the pan on side, tap and remove.
  • Makes 2 nice loaves that can be cut into 16 slices. Freezes well, in fact, freezing seems to enhance the flavors.

NANA'S POPPY SEED BREAD



Nana's Poppy Seed Bread image

This recipe is my grandmothers.I don't know where she aquired it but I have always had it at her house. A tried and true favorite in our family. This one doesn't stay around long! Great for gift giving too! This recipe I have found works better if you split the batter into 2 loaf pans. It makes lots of batter so making 2 instead of one seems to be the consensus here.

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 loaf French bread
1 cup melted butter
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup poppy seed
1 lb swiss cheese, sliced

Steps:

  • Cut loaf of French bread into 10 slices, 3/4 of the way through.

  • Use unsalted butter. This will allow you to control the amount of salt in the bread.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing it. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
  • Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the bread for up to 2 months.
