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!

Norma's Moist Lemon Glazed Poppy Seed Bread image

I have made this bread for so many years and given it to friends and family for gifts. It is so moist and freezes well also. Some think it's more like a cake than a bread. I make 4 mini loaves from this recipe or one big loaf and it takes only 30 minutes to bake. If your a lemon lover you must try this recipe. I'm sure you will...

My neighbor gave me this recipe, and I love that it makes two loaves. We usually eat one and then give the other away or freeze it for later. The glaze complements the bread perfectly. -Heather Frese, Albany, Missouri
