Orange-Poppy Seed Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

Bread
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1 1/8 cups oil
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 tablespoon poppy seed
Glaze
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons melted butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Preparation

Mix all bread ingredients in large bowl for 2 minutes at high speed of electric mixer.
Pour into greased and floured pans (either Bundt or 2 loaf) and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes. LEAVE IN PAN!
Mix all glaze ingredients in small bowl.
While bread is still hot, poke holes all over in bread with skewer or other implement.
Pour glaze over hot bread. Let sit until hardened.
This sets up with a hard, crunchy sugar glaze on the outside.
Can use lemon as well, if preferred.
