Poppy Seed Dessert Bread

There is absolutely nothing healthy about this melt-in-your-mouth bread, so save it for a dessert indulgence or special treat.  But do make it.  Oh, so good! We served it at my sister’s baby shower, and I frequently make mini-loaves or mini-muffin sizes for gifts.

Poppy Seed Dessert Bread

• 3 c. flour
• 1 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 2 1/4 c. sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1 1/2 c. milk
• 1 c. and 2 Tsp. cooking oil
• 1/2 c. poppy seeds
• 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
• 1 1/2 tsp. almond extract
• 1 1/2 tsp. butter flavoring (NOT real butter; this is found with the spices)

Add ingredients in order in large bowl.  Beat well for 2 minutes.  Pour into 2 greased loaf pans.  Bake at 350° for 45-55 minutes.  Glaze while warm in pan.

Glaze:

• 3/4 c. powdered sugar
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla
• 1/2 tsp. almond extract
• 1/2 tsp. butter flavoring
• 1 Tbsp. milk (approximately — going for a drizzly/thin consistency)
