2/3 cup softened brown sugar

1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup poppy seed

Tips:

Use fresh poppy seeds. Fresh poppy seeds have a more intense flavor than older seeds. If you can't find fresh poppy seeds, you can use toasted poppy seeds instead.
Toast the poppy seeds before using them. Toasting the poppy seeds will help to bring out their flavor and make them more aromatic.
Use a combination of all-purpose flour and bread flour. All-purpose flour will give the bread a light and fluffy texture, while bread flour will give it a chewier texture.
Let the dough rise in a warm place. The dough should rise until it has doubled in size. This will take about 1 hour.
Bake the bread in a preheated oven. The bread should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes, or until it is golden brown on top.
Let the bread cool before slicing it. The bread should be allowed to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing it. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Poppy seed bread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like your poppy seed bread sweet or savory, there is a recipe out there for you. So what are you waiting for? Start baking!
