I and my younger sister are entrusted with the responsibility of making Poppy Seed Bread, especially during New Year’s eve. Everybody is delighted at the very sight of Poppy Seed Bread on the dining table. Also, it is completely your choice to make it with glaze or without the glaze. This delicious and buttery American dessert is one of the best family recipes.
It is advised to either soak poppy seeds in hot milk, water or oil or grind them before using as soaking is instrumental in softening their tough outer coating for the facilitation of release of their unique flavouring compounds due to baking temperatures. Also, the morphine content can be reduced by approximately 70 % on washing poppy seeds with hot water.
You would surely want to make it. So, to ease things for you, I present the best ever Poppy Seed Bread Recipe.
