Tasty Tuesday!

Ok I'm going to start this, every Tuesday I am going to put a recipe on my blog and call it Tasty Tuesdays. I have a billion recipes I would like to try but never do, so I think I am going to post a recipe and tell you what I think of it. I'm going to try to make it before I post the blog, but I don't I will try to make it during the week.
So here it is, Tasty Tuesday!
(this Tuesday's going to probably be an easy one)

Orange Glazed Poppy Bread
Ingredients:

for bread
3 C. flour
2 1/2 C. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 Tbsp. poppy seeds
1 1/2 C. Milk
1 C + 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
3 large eggs, slightly beaten
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 tsp. almond extract

for the glaze
3/4 C. sugar
1/4 C. orange juice
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. almond extract
2 tsp. unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray two 8 1/2" x 4 1/2" loaf pans with cooking spray and set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and poppy seeds. Stir on low, just until combined.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients- the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla and almond extract.
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry. With mixer on low speed, beat until incorporated. Then raise the mixer speed to medium and beat for one more minute. Pour batter into prepared loaf pans and bake for about 1 hour and 5 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.
While the bread is baking, prepare the glaze. Combine all glaze ingredients and whisk until incorporated. When the baked loaves are removed from the oven, immediately brush the glaze over the warm bread tops. It will seem like a lot of glaze, but it will soak in and make the bread ultra moist and flavorful, with a bit of a sugary crust once cooled. Cool loaves about 20 minutes. Then run a knife around the edges of the pans before removing bread from pans.

I got this recipe off of this blog and it sounds really good.
