MY MOM'S POPPY SEED BREAD

Steps:

• Blend dry ingredients with milk and oil, beat eggs in thoroughly and add flavorings.
• Pour into 2 greased bread loaf pans. Make sure pans are greased to prevent sticking or even better, use a non-stick pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
• Test with toothpick.
• Meanwhile, melt butter, add juice, sugar, vanilla and almond extract.
• Bring to a boil.
• Remain warm.
• When bread is done, drag a knife around edges of your pan, poke holes with a fork in random pattern.
• Drizzle glaze over and in cake.
• Cool thoroughly.
• Wrap in Saran Wrap.
• Refrigerate or freeze.
• Could also make muffins or smaller loaves.

POPPY SEED BEER BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Mix all ingredients except poppy seeds and sesame seeds.
• Carefully mix in 1 tbsp poppy seeds. Do not over mix.
• Spray loaf pan with cooking spray.
• Sprinkle sesame seeds evenly across the bottom of the loaf pan.
• Pour dough into loaf pan.
• Lightly sprinkle the top with poppy seeds & sesame seeds.
• Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
• NOTE: Original recipe did not include the sesame seeds on the bottom of the loaf, but I like them. The original recipe also stated that sesame seeds could be used instead of poppy seeds mixed into the loaf & on top (eliminating the poppy seeds completely from the recipe).

SWEET POPPY SEED BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• With electric mixer, combine oil, applesauce, and sugar.
• Add almond, butter, and vanilla flavorings.

• Add flour and baking powder.

• Pour glaze on bread or muffins while still warm. I do this a little bit at a time so the bottom doesn't get soggy.

OLD WORLD POPPY SEED ROLL

Steps:

• Place poppy seeds into a food processor and process until seeds are ground, about 1 minute.
• Mix poppy seeds with 3/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon melted butter, lemon juice, and hot milk in a bowl; stir to combine. Cover poppy seed filling and refrigerate while making bread (filling will set up and thicken as it chills).
• Mix yeast with water and 2 tablespoons sugar in a small bowl. Allow to stand until the yeast forms a creamy layer.
• Whisk flour with salt in a bowl; use a pastry cutter to cut 1/4 cup butter into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Pour yeast mixture and egg yolk into flour mixture and stir to make a soft dough.
• Turn dough out onto a floured work surface and knead until smooth and slightly springy, about 5 minutes. If dough is too sticky, knead in more flour, about 2 tablespoons at a time.
• Cut dough into 2 equal pieces. Roll each piece out into a 12x16-inch rectangle.
• Spread half the poppy seed filling over each rectangle, leaving a 1-inch border. Fold the 1-inch border back over the filling on all sides and press down.
• Pick up the shorter side of a dough rectangle and roll it like a jelly roll; repeat with second rectangle. Pinch ends together or tuck ends under to prevent filling from leaking out.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; place rolls seam sides down on the baking sheet and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Beat egg white in a bowl until frothy; brush the rolls with beaten egg white.
• Bake in preheated oven until dark golden brown on top, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven and cover rolls with a clean kitchen towel until cool to keep crust soft. Cool completely before slicing.
