A family favorite, with or without the messy glaze. This moist bread freezes well. It is nice to be able to make ahead and freeze for an event.
3 eggs
1½ c. milk
1 1/8 c. vegetable oil
2¼ c. sugar
1½ tsp. salt
1½ tsp. baking powder
1½ tsp. butter flavoring
1½ tsp. almond flavoring
1½ tsp. vanilla
3 T. poppy seeds
3 c. flour
Glaze:
¼ tsp. butter flavoring
¼ tsp. almond flavoring
¼ tsp. vanilla
2 T. concentrated orange juice,
thawed
6 T. sugar
Preheat oven to 325°. Beat together eggs, milk, and oil. Add sugar, salt, baking powder, butter flavoring, almond flavoring, vanilla, and poppy seeds. Mix in flour. Pour batter into 2 medium-small, greased bread pans. (To help prevent bread from sticking, trace the bottom of bread pan on wax paper, cut out, and place in bottoms of pans.) Bake for
60-70 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Mix together glaze ingredients. Poke small holes in top of warm bread with a fork and pour glaze over.
