CHERYL'S POPPY SEED BREAD WITH GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 F degrees.
• Grease and flour two regular size loaf pans.
• Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl and whisk together.
• In another bowl, combine sugar, eggs, and oil.
• Add the flour mixture alternately with the milk into the egg mixture, mixing between each addition by hand.
• Stir in poppyseeds (yes, it really is 1 1/2 Tbsp) and flavorings.
• Pour into prepared loaf pans and bake at 350 F for 1 hour, or until cake tests done (you may need another 15 minutes baking time).
• When baked, set the loaf pans on a rack (leaving loaves in pans).
• Combine glaze ingredients and pour all over the still warm loaves (if you like, poke holes in the surface with a skewer before pouring glaze so that it leaks into the bread).
• The center of the bread will be very, very moist- almost wet from the glaze.
