This recipe is from a collection of recipes from the labels of food products. I don't really know what label it originally came from. It has a very light cake like texture.

ORANGE OR LEMON- POPPY SEED BREAD



ORANGE OR LEMON- POPPY SEED BREAD image

Categories     Bread     Citrus     Breakfast     Bake

Yield loaves

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/4 cups granulated sugar
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons grated orange or lemon zest
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Orange or Lemon Glaze:
3/4 cup sifted powdered (confectioner's) sugar
1/4 cup freshly-squeezed orange or lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon butter or margarine

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, poppy seeds, baking powder, and salt. Add eggs, milk, vegetable oil, orange zest, vanilla extract, and almond extract; stir until dry ingredients are moistened. Pour batter into prepared loaf pans. Bake approximately 55 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from oven and place on wire racks. While still hot, using a long-tined fork, poke holes in the top of the baked loaves. Pour Orange Glaze over loaves. Cool in pans for 10 minutes; remove from pans. Cool completely before slicing. Glaze: In a medium bowl, combine powdered sugar, orange juice, vanilla extract, and almond extract; stir until well blended.

Tips:

  • To achieve a moist and flavorful lemon poppy seed bread, ensure that the butter and eggs are at room temperature before mixing. This allows them to emulsify properly, resulting in a smooth and well-combined batter.
  • Use fresh lemon zest for the best flavor. The zest of one large lemon is typically sufficient, but you can adjust the amount to your preference.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can lead to a tough and dense bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and no streaks of flour remain.
  • Poppy seeds have a tendency to sink to the bottom of the batter. To prevent this, toss them with a tablespoon of flour before adding them to the batter. This will help distribute them evenly throughout the bread.
  • To create a crispy and golden crust, brush the top of the bread with melted butter before baking. You can also sprinkle additional poppy seeds on top for extra flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Lemon poppy seed bread is a classic and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dessert. With its zesty lemon flavor, crunchy poppy seeds, and moist, tender crumb, it is sure to please everyone. Whether you are a seasoned baker or just starting out, this recipe provides a straightforward guide to creating a delicious and satisfying loaf of lemon poppy seed bread. Remember to follow the tips and techniques mentioned above to achieve the best results. So, preheat your oven, gather your ingredients, and let's bake a delightful lemon poppy seed bread together!
