NANA'S POPPY SEED BREAD

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh poppy seeds for the best flavor. If your poppy seeds are old, they may not have as much flavor and can even taste bitter.
  • Grind the poppy seeds finely before adding them to the batter. This will help to release their flavor and distribute them evenly throughout the bread.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bread tough and dense. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread in a loaf pan that has been greased and floured. This will help to prevent the bread from sticking to the pan.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing it. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Norma's Poppy Seed Bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist, tender crumb and flavorful poppy seed filling, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Whether you serve it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this bread is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
