Perfect for a bread novice
I have to admit that I haven’t always considered myself a “bread maker” because for so long I feared recipes with yeast. Maybe you’re in the same boat! Fortunately, I have a collection of bread recipes that don’t call for yeast, like this next one – making it a “quick bread“. It’s actually one my mom tried out for the family, and it reminds me of an even better version of the Poppy Seed muffins you can get at Sams Club or Costco. Doesn’t this bread look delicious?! I love poppy seed bread already, but with a glaze on top it makes even more delicious.
how to make almond poppy seed bread
PREP. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 2 large bread pans. COMBINE. Mix all of the ingredients together with your mixer until well combined. Pour into your greased pans. BAKE. Bake at 350 for about 50 minutes (use a toothpick. to make sure it’s done) NOTE: Dark metal pan requires less baking time at a lower temperature. GLAZE. Mix 2 cups sifted powdered sugar, milk, lemon juice, ½ tsp. almond extract in a bowl until well combined. Add any more milk needed to make it the consistency you like. Pour glaze or spoon it over warm bread.
Tips + Variations
To flour a bread pan first grease it with cooking spray. Then, add a scoop of flour. Move the pan around so that the flour coats all sides. Add more flour if necessary. Once the pan is evenly coated discard the excess. This helps keep the bread from sticking to the pan. This bread is simply delicious as is, but sometimes it’s fun to add little something extra. Here are a few variations to try:
Add dried berries such as cranberries or blueberries Add dark or white chocolate chips Use a flavored glaze Lemon or orange flavoring or adding some orange juice would be delicious with a little zest mixed in.
Storing Info
STORE the bread in an airtight container. This bread keeps at room temperature for 1-2 days or for about a week in the fridge. I Recommend FREEZING it without the glaze, thawing, and then adding glaze just before eating, but it can be frozen with the glaze as well. Either way wrap the bread with plastic wrap and again with foil. Freeze for up to 3 months.
