A very moist delicious bread. This makes five small or two regular sized loaves. There is such a burst of orange, you get out of the glaze, that you don't need much orange flavoring to the bread itself, I didn't want to take away from the Blueberry flavor..mmmmmmmm enjoyed mine with a hot cup of coffee... I think my boy would rather have this for his birthday; than a cake!

How To Make blueberry, poppyseed bread w/ orange glaze

  • Step 1
    Gather ingredients.
  • Step 2
    Preheat oven to 350 degree F.
  • Step 3
    Sift all dry ingredients together in a large bowl; add the remaining ingredients; except for blueberries. I mixed all of the other ingredients together, then added to the flour mixture. Stir well; making sure everything is well combined.
  • Step 4
    Grease and flour bread pans. Pour mixture into prepared bread pans; sprinkle blueberries on the tops of the mixtures evenly.
  • Step 5
    Press slightly into dough with a spoon. (This should keep them from all sinking to the bottom)
  • Step 6
    Place in oven and bake large pans for about 50 minutes. Small pans for about 30. Bread is done when it is a golden color and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
  • Step 7
    When bread is almost done baking. Combine all glaze ingredients in a small sauce pan over medium heat.
  • Step 8
    Cook until sugar dissolves. Stirring often. Set aside.
  • Step 9
    Allow bread to cool for 10 minutes in pans before removing.
  • Step 10
    Pour glaze over bread, spreading with a knife or a spoon. This is so moist and delicious, my son's favorite!
