A word of warning: this bread is like a dessert. It's really good but it is sweet. I love the glaze since it has orange juice in it.


POPPY SEED BREAD

3 cups flour
2 1/4 cups sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1 1/8 cups oil (won't hurt to just put 1 cup)
1 1/2 Tbs poppy seeds
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 tsp almond extract
1 1/2 tsp butter extract (I have used melted butter in a pinch)

Mix all ingredients, beating 2 minutes with mixer or by hand. Grease and flour 2 8 in loaf pans or 1 bundt pan. Bake at 325F (160C) for 1 hour or until toothpick comes out clean.

Glaze:
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup orange juice
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp almond extract
1/2 tsp butter extract

Stir together in sauce pan or microwave until sugar has dissolved. Poke holes in your bread with a fork or skewer. Also run a knife around the edges of your pan. Pour glaze over top and allow to soak in. Remove loaves from pans. Serve or freeze. If freezing, freeze without glaze and put glaze over just before serving.
