NORMA'S POPPY SEED BREAD

Norma's Poppy Seed Bread image

This recipe makes 2 loaves of delicious bread. People come to Norma's to just buy this bread. Norma's has three locations in Pensacola, FL. This bread is really good! After Nimz's review, I had to add...I usually half the poppy seed amount...I can't afford to use that many poppy seeds...however, Norma's original recipe, and the one that people line up for, has the full cup in the two loaves!

Time 1h5m

Yield 2 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
4 eggs
1 (13 ounce) can evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups flour
1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup poppy seed

Steps:

Combine the sugar, oil, eggs, evaporated milk and vanilla in a mixing bowl and beat until smooth.
Sift the flour, baking powder and salt together.
Add to the sugar mixture and mix well. Add the poppy seeds and mix well. Spoon into 2 greased loaf pans. Bake at 325 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes.

Tips:

Activate the yeast properly: Active dry yeast needs to be proofed in warm water with a pinch of sugar before using. Make sure the water is not too hot (around 110°F) to avoid killing the yeast.
Use fresh poppy seeds: Fresh poppy seeds have a better flavor and texture than old ones. If you can, try to find poppy seeds that are less than a year old.
Toast the poppy seeds: Toasting the poppy seeds will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant. You can toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, stirring constantly.
Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the bread tough. Mix the ingredients until they are just combined, then stop.
Let the bread rise in a warm place: The dough needs to rise in a warm place in order to double in size. You can place the dough in a warm oven (turned off) or in a sunny spot.
Bake the bread until it is golden brown: The bread is done baking when it is golden brown on top and sounds hollow when tapped.
