This recipe comes from my best friend's mom, who has made this amazing bread for years. Because it's so good and makes small loaves, she gave it often as gifts - and it was always quickly devoured in our house! It is heavenly!
However, it needs a little adaptation if I want to eat it safely now.
Can anyone tell me whether poppyseeds are okay? The bread would be fine without it (it's a little similar to Heather's Lemon Bread). What about the orange juice in the glaze?
Orange Glazed Poppyseed Bread 3 cups flour 2 1/2 cups sugar 1 1/2 cups milk (sub soy/rice/almond milk) 1 cup plus 2 T. canola oil (sub 1/2 cup applesauce, 1/2 cup plus 2 T. canola oil - or is the amount okay?) 1 tsp salt 1 1/2 tsp baking powder 1 1/2 tsp poppy seeds (omit?) 3 eggs (6 whites or 3/4 cup egg sub) 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 1 1/2 tsp almond extract
Mix dry and wet ingredients in separate bowls. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Beat 2 minutes with electric mixer at medium speed. Pour into greased pans (three 8" x 4" or six 5 3/4" x 3" loaf pans).
Bake at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
GLAZE 3/4 cup sugar 1/4 cup orange juice (is this safe?) 1/2 tsp. vanilla 1/2 tsp. almond extract 2 Tbsp margarine, melted (use safe margarine)
Combine glaze ingredients. Brush glaze generously on loaves while still hot. Cool well before removing bread from pans. The cool glaze will crystallize into a crunchy and sugary top - yum!
