Poppy Seed Bread

Dear Cook, this sweet bread is yummy, and is a long time family favorite. I took it to our small group where we were watching R. C. Sproul videos on apologetics. The bread nearly disappeared.

During a spring blizzard a few years ago, after my granddaughter’s request, I made four loaves of the bread for her daughter’s dedication day. Due to the storm, the dedication had to be postponed. But, no worries, the bread freezes very well, so its in the freezer for next week.

As you can see in the picture, I used foil for lifting the bread out of the pans. I thought that instead of removing the loaves while the bread was still slightly warm, that I would try letting the sauce set until firm. My mistake. Completely cooled, it was very difficult to remove. The foil strips only ripped when I gently pulled on them. I suggest not using strips, and just removing the bread while it is still warm.

One more suggestion: when using larger than normal bread pans, as I do, I increase the amount of sauce by one-half. Have fun in your kitchen, and keep on lickin.’ Oh, did I say lickin’? Surely, I meant tickin.’
