Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2.5 tablespoons poppy seeds
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 large eggs
- 0.75 cup milk
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons almond extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, poppy seeds, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can lead to a denser bread.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Run a knife along the edges of the pan to loosen the bread, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
