Delicious Almond Poppy Seed Bread Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
14
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sliced almonds (for topping)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan.

    Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

    Sifting the flour can help prevent clumps.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add buttermilk, melted butter, and almond extract. Mix well.

    Make sure the melted butter is not too hot to avoid cooking the eggs.
  4. Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the poppy seeds.

    Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Bake the Bread

    Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle sliced almonds on top. Bake for 50-60 minutes.

    Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
