Poppy Seed Tea Bread - 2010 Stake RS Conference

Poppy Seed Tea Bread

***** Fabulous!

3 cups flour

2 ½ cups sugar

1 ½ tsp. Salt

1 ½ tsp. Baking powder

3 eggs, slightly beaten

1 ½ cups milk

1 cup oil

2 Tbsp. Poppy seeds

1 ½ tsp. Vanilla

1 ½ tsp. Almond extract

1 ½ tsp. Butter flavoring

Grease the bottom and ½ inch up sides of two8x4x2 inch loaf pans; set aside. In an extra large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Make a well in the center of the dry mixture, and set aside.

In another bowl, combine the eggs, milk, oil, poppy seeds, vanilla, almond extract, and butter flavorings. Add egg mixture all at once to the dry mixture. Stir just until moistened. Spoon batter into the prepared pans. Bake for 60-70 min. At 325 until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pans on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove loaves from pans. Cool completely on wire rack. Wrap and store overnight.

Note: I prefer this bread without the butter flavoring. It overpowers the almond flavor which I prefer.
