Servings 2 loaves

Ingredients

For the Bread

  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 1/8 cups canola oil
  • 2 1/4 cups sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. poppy seeds
  • 1 1/2 tsp. almond extract
  • 1 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 tsp. melted butter (or butter extract)

For the Glaze

  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. almond extract
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 tsp. butter melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and flour two 8" x 4" loaf pans. Set aside.  

  2. In a medium bowl mix flour, baking powder and salt.

  3. In a large bowl mix eggs, canola oil, sugar and milk. Gradually add in the dry ingredients. Stir in poppy seeds, almond extract, vanilla and melted butter. Pour batter into prepared pans. Bake for 50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cover with foil if the top starts to get too brown. Remove from oven and let them cool slightly. 

  4. To make the glaze, mix together all ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until sugar dissolves. Remove bread from pans and pour glaze over warm bread. Use a knife or spatula to bring the glaze that runs off back on top of the loaf. Enjoy!
