Poppy Seed Bread with Glaze

Recipe View Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans. This ensures easy removal of the bread. (5 minutes)

Recipe View In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. This ensures even distribution of the leavening agents. (3 minutes)

Recipe View In a separate bowl, combine the poppy seeds, butter flavoring, oil, eggs, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Mix well until fully incorporated. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a tough bread. (4 minutes)

Recipe View Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. (60 minutes)

Recipe View Let the bread cool in the pans for 5 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely. (5 minutes)

Recipe View While the bread cools, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, butter flavoring, almond flavoring, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar, whisking until you reach your desired consistency. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Once the bread is completely cool, poke holes in the top with a toothpick or skewer. This allows the glaze to seep into the bread, adding moisture and flavor. (3 minutes)

Recipe View Pour the glaze evenly over the loaves, allowing it to drip down the sides. Let the glaze set before slicing and serving. (2 minutes)
