3 eggs
2 1/2 c. sugar
1 1/2 c. milk
1 1/4 c. oil
1 1/2 tsp. poppy seeds
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/2 tsp. almond extract
3 c. flour

GLAZE:

3/4 c. sugar
1/4 c. orange juice
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. almond extract
2 tbsp. butter

Cream together eggs and sugar. Blend milk, oil, poppy seeds, baking powder, salt, almond, vanilla and then flour, 1 cup at a time until well mixed. Pour into 2 greased and floured bread pans. Bake 1 hour at 325 degrees. Cool 5 minutes in pans. Then take out of pans. Glaze while warm. Heat all ingredients of glaze to melting, pour over warm loaves. Use toothpicks so glaze will go into bread. Enough glaze for 2 batches or 4 loaves.

DIETITIAN'S NOTE:

Try this with 1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour, 1 1/2 cup white flour for some extra fiber. Egg substitute (3/4 cup) and reducing the sugar to 2 cup will also help to "lighten up".
