Almond Poppy Seed Loaf




Last week I shared with you "Hot Fudge Pudding Cake." The cake was requested by Laurie. Well, today I am sharing another one of Laurie's recipes. (Two more are coming! I think I'll call this the "Laurie Series.")


Anyway, Laurie requested several quick bread recipes. The one I am sharing with you today is simply amazing. It is moist, tender and full of flavor. You know what it reminds me of? Supermarket quick breads. Now before you roll your eyes, let me explain. Remember how supermarket quick bread were dense and moist? And how the crumb of the bread was pretty tight? This recipe makes a bread just like those breads! I think of it as the best version of a supermarket quick bread.


Beside the taste, and oh my god the taste is tremendous, I also love how easy this bread comes together. Simply whisk together your dry ingredients, add the wet ingredient, mix and, boom, you are done! It doesn't get any easier than this!


I did make one change from Laurie's original recipe. Her recipe called for the bread to be glazed. And while I liked the glaze, I liked the bread better without it. So, in this recipe, the glaze is optional.


Whether you glaze this bread or not, I know you will love it. Thanks Laurie for another great recipe! . . . (to read the remainder of this article, please log in below.)
