Are you surprised to see a new post from me? I know, it has been a long time since I’ve posted. But I’m back…at least for today. Work and family life has been keeping me super busy, so I have had to put blogging aside. I’m hoping I will be able to start posting to the blog once again.

This glazed almond poppy seed bread is something I’ve been baking for years and is a family favorite. It’s not something I would have normally put on the blog because it isn’t “healthy”. However, I did use pure and organic ingredients. I know some day, one of my daughters is going to ask for the recipe and I can happily respond “it’s on the blog”.

Speaking of daughter’s, this glazed almond poppy seed bread is perfect for a Mother’s Day brunch or tea. The bread is slightly sweet with a hint of almond, but the glaze which is poured onto the warm bread, intensifies the sweetness and almond flavoring within. A dessert bread that is so moist and incredibly delicious, plus this recipe will give you two loaves. Eat one now and freeze the other for later.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Whisk together the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Add in milk, oil, eggs, extracts, and poppy seeds and whisk for 2 minutes.
Pour batter into two 9-inch loaf pans sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a tooth pick poked in the center comes out clean.
While bread is baking, whisk the glaze ingredients together. When the bread is done, remove from the oven. Pour the glaze onto the hot bread and allow to cool.
