If you want a perfect Christmas bread, this is it. It's delicious insides are permeated with a orange, sugary, almond glaze that just makes this bread more of a cake... It's been a family favorite and tradition since I can remember, and when my mom used to make these by the dozens, they'd all be gone before they cooled.
2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
2 eggs
3/4 cup oil
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup milk
1 tsp poppy seeds
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp butter extract
1 tsp almond extract
Beat everything together on high for 2 minutes or until smooth. Scrape into greased loaf pan. Bake at 350' for one hour if using 1 loaf pan. If using mini pans, 40 minutes.
GLAZE:
1/4 cup orange juice
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp almond extract
1/2 tsp butter extract
After the loaves have cooled for about 5 minutes, poke a LOT of holes in the top (don't massacre the poor bread, but make sure the glaze can soak in!), and drizzle the glaze, letting it seep in. Let stand 20 minutes.
YIELD: 1 loaf, or 3 mini loaves
