Poppy Seed Bread I

  •        

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9 x 5 inch loaf pans.
  2. Mix the flour, salt, sugar, and soda in a mixing bowl. Add vanilla, milk, eggs, and oil. Beat for five minutes with an electric mixer. Stir in the poppy seeds. Pour batter into loaf pans.
  3. Bake for one hour. Cool on wire racks.
*I halfed this recipe, and made 17 muffins.  Bake at 325 for 20-25 minutes.

*I made the 2 loaves of bread and the top was burning while it was still undercooked inside.  Next time I'm going cover them with tin foil for 40 minutes, then take if off for the last 20 minutes.
