Poppyseed Bread

There is nothing like fresh bread from the oven, especially when it's filled with almondy, poppyseed goodness.  This bread is fantastic.  I've made it a few times and I never regret it (until I've eaten the whole loaf).  I usually have most of the ingredients on hand, except the almond extract and orange juice, but Kevin made a special trip to pick up those for me.  He's sweet, like this bread.  I hope you give this recipe a try.

I found the original recipe here.  It is from The Girl Who Ate Everything blog.  If you haven't checked this blog out, it's great.
