Servings: 16 servings (2 loaves)
Ingredients
Bread
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2½ cups sugar
- 1½ tablespoons poppy seeds
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1½ cups milk
- 1⅛ cups vegetable oil
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons almond extract
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Glaze
- 2 cups powdered sugar sifted
- 3-4 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two 5-x-9-inch loaf pans with cooking spray and set aside.
- To make the bread, mix flour, sugar, poppyseeds, baking powder and salt in a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add eggs, milk, oil, sour cream, almond and vanilla extracts and mix until smooth. Distribute batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans.
- Tent loaf pans with aluminum foil and bake for 55–60 minutes, removing the foil for the last 15 minutes. Cool loaves in pans for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack.
- While bread is baking, prepare the glaze. Mix powdered sugar, milk, lemon juice and almond extract in a bowl until well combined. Begin with 3 tablespoons milk and add more as needed to make it the consistency you like.
- Spoon glaze over loaves while they are still warm. Allow to cool completely before serving.

Notes
Make Ahead: Place in a large resealable plastic bag and store at room temperature for 3–4 days or in the refrigerator for 7 days. To freeze, wrap each loaf in plastic wrap, then place in a resealable plastic freezer bag and freeze for up to 4 months. Thaw at room temperature before warming to your liking.
Variation: Turn this recipe into a Lemon Poppy Seed Bread by substituting the same amount of lemon extract for the almond extract in the bread and glaze.
